Thank you all again.

My current car has a 427.....I will probably stick with a small block but give it a bit more punch next go around. Speaking of the 385 series I think that it would be an awesome motor punched out to 550+ or whatever size. For a street car running a big hydraulic roller it would be a great street cruiser but I still think it would be insane on tires and just trying to remotely hook it up without some super sticky rears and the right suspension. I just got rid of a gem of an 03 cobra with a stock motor with a KB2.6 twin screw running just 16lb making 575hp/575tq at the wheels. The torque was literally at 500+rwtq at 2000rpm and up. It sounds really fun but I think it would be pretty treacherous. When I was thinking of my first cobra I kept thinking I would go the coyote route but now after I've had the 427 I really enjoy it. In the future I could see having a second cobra with a mod setup.....they are easy to modify and produce insane power if that's what your into.
