Lifetime of small block 427w
Looks like another unexpected opportunity to own a Cobra is knocking back at my door. This particular car is the one I always keep going back to in regards to fit, finish and color scheme so I think I'm going to take the plunge. Having never owned one I had a question in regards to the powertrain. This specific car has a KC 427 and I believe it is the Steet/Strip 585hp/565tq crate engine. I know there are many factors that play into lifetime of an engine but what can one expect out of a setup like this. As far as I know the car has 12k miles on it and has not been used as a track car just a street car. It has had its regular oil changes, never any issues and hasn't lived its life at 6k. Looking to gauge potential wear and tear items at this mileage. From what I can tell it has been properly cared for.
