1966 427 ALLOY engine??
The Australian Motor Sports magazine (Jan. 1966) quotes Ken Miles (in Australia for the Tourist Trophy Race) as stating his competition Cobra (the one he was running in Australia at the time) was essentally the same as the street car Cobra with the exception of an "ALLOY" engine. The AMS magazine referred to THAT Cobra as 427 "race" model.
The car broke the rear suspension on the 34th lap of something like 85 so was a disappointing DNF.
Question: I recall the very early alloy 390 in 1964-5(?) as used in the "Turd". But I DON'T recall refference to a 427 alloy block in 1965-66.
What say you?
