Not Ranked
Overpowered? No. I can put it to the floor gently and get a lot of accelaration not just wheel spin. My engine is aluminum with aluminum heads, I have never felt as if the car is nose heavy, it feels very balanced. My 88 Mustang GT plowed a lot at the limit in a corner and the Cobra does not. Somestimes it understeers and sometimes it oversteers (without the use of the gas pedal).
I think the too much engine is more a cam/intake/carb problem than cubic inches. if you have a race setup (huge lift/duration, huge carb, single plane intake), it may not run well on the street whether it is a 302 or a 550. . .. mine a little much for the street, if I were to do it again, I may "decam" it, but I would still have a big block. . . .love the torque...
those are my 2 cents worth, but what do I know. . . .
