Ordered a Superformance Cobra, trying to make some decisions.

Also, at least in the Kirkham, one of the cross-members had to be "clearanced" to install the 460.

I am also, as I was looking all small blocks and 460 based motors were passed over quickly. BUT I also skipped by a lot of iron FE's. Most happened to be built by Southern. I don't do things for resale, I do them for me but in this case I think it is for me. I like the look of the FE with the old school Chrome Pentroof valve covers. That's the look that floats my boat. If I was doing this for resale I would not do it! Hopefully I don't find the need to sell it anytime soon.

How much cheaper is a 460 than an FE?
