As one who is currently building a high performance 66' 427fe side oiler @ 600/600, I can tell you what FE stands for: *ucking *xpensive!
Once you start building a 427fe side oiler the first thing you have to do is quit asking "how much $?", or you'll never get anywhere with it.
Also, quit talking anything about the price around you wife, she probably won't understand this whole 427fe side oiler thing. A well built one is not for the 'shy or faint- hearted'. There is nothing like the 'rocket launch' sound and feel of a strong 427fe at 'takeoff'!
I never understood why anyone would put anything but a 427 or 428 in a 427 Cobra. If it's 'handling & balance' your after, there are many better handling and more balanced cars out there than Cobras.
Those that arn't convinced by looking under the hood, will be convinced when you finally let them out of the passanger seat!
Look at the name of the car: 'It's all about the 427'!

P.S. Now I'm off to my 2nd job, I didn't say there wasn't a price to pay! I've got to pay for this some way.
FE = $$$$$$$$
