Here are the options. I can have a std bore 428 for $800 that my builder will sell me. All I need are pistons and some machine work. That would cost about $2500 all in. I could have the current 427 sleeved for $800 - $1000 plus pistons and some machine work. Probably about the same price. Finally I could go with a pond block for about $5000 plus machine work which would probably land around $6000. I have already paid for the .080 427 with all new internals so everything should just transfer over. If it was two years ago and the cobra market was still good, I wouldn't mind the pond block option. Do you think an aluminum pond block is worth $3500 more to a cobra buyer over an original 427 engine?
