Start with the exterior shape, it's called a 427 body. If you have the correct fender emblems they say 427 Ford Cobra. From there it becomes simple -

... If you have a Ford in it and it's a 427 CID motor then you can check that box.
... If it's a non-Ford 427, sand the "Ford" flat on the emblem and you will be ok, letters are slightly raised and unpainted so no one will notice.
... If you have a BB with more than 427 CID, any make motor, then you are SOL as it is the wrong size motor for the body.

When patrickt heads out for a cruise in his 440 BB, all his little buddies know he is behind the wheel of a rolling lie
