The real question each of us has to ask is,....
How big is your cobra wallet? Sideoilers are expensive, and the 427/428 motors tend to have more overall problems due to age, condition, and the big variable, WHO inspected/approved/built them, since they are unique motors. From all I have heard, I would have mine built by Southern, were I to go that way...
The best budget/quick way to get BIG HP is a crate engine, from Ford Racing. I am going with the 514 600 horse. 590 ft lbs of torque without my custom fuel injection/MSD ignition, etc...:

Not enough torque/HP??? Try the *Monster Merlin* motor, 780 HP on pump premium. I would have used one of these for my turnkey, but it seemed over the top, HP/torque wise, and I wanted fuel injection

Watch the dyno video/audio there, for a giggle!
Look around that site, they have lesser motors also !
