There seems to be a trend among engine builders to promote 482's over 427's. Surely the 427 produces more than enough for most Cobra drivers to handle and is the right engine. So what's prompted upping the ante. New 427 Crank availability?
Also I read the Pond alloy block saves 60lbs over the iron FE. But is that with the 8 steel liners installed?
If so it sounds like an alloy everything Pond FE is on a parr weight wise with the 450 lb iron 302 efi, that I currently have installed.
