[quote=RodKnock;1176505]Oops, you forgot one little phrase at the end of the OP's sentence.
".....all else being equal."
My interpretation of that says that
all else isn't equal because I (and others) wouldn't even consider installing a SBF or 385 in a 427 Cobra. No way. No how.
So what you are saying is that Ford built no other engines?
I don't remember the OP saying "for a cobra" or any other vehicle. Don't get me wrong here, I love FE's and am working on putting a nice aluminum tunnelport in my car someday but the question was pretty clear and I believe the OP was looking for non biased answers. In fact this thread is so old he probably isn't around anymore.
