Default 428fe, or 427fe, which one do you prefer? Please no other engines, thanks.

I know there are all kinds of engines you can put into your Cobra, but I want to hear specifically from those who have either or the FE's listed above.

I have a 428fe in my SV Cobra, and usually I can't get a car home before either tearing into the existing engine, or altogether swapping it out.

But, this 428 engine is so much fun I doubt I will go to the trouble to do anything [mostly stock 428PI engine with Eld intake, and iron heads].

On the other end of the scale I have a 540fe tunnelport supercharged engine I built in a 67 Mustang of course it has way more hp/tq, but its way more temperamental than the stockish 428. The 428fe in the Cobra is just way more fun. [also, the TKO600, 5 speed helps with all of that low end torque].

Here is the 540fe.
