I've been in the car scene nearly all my life and I've never heard of "VP C16 fuel."

Dove parts? What happened to all the Ford Tunnelport parts?

Listen to Chas, he knows mostly what he's talking about. (just kidding)

As to what premium I would pay for a 427 vs any other engine in a BB Cobra that I was considering? The answer would be:

The cost to build and install my new 427 less the salvage value of the engine being pulled from between the fenders.
