If it is Orphan WOW its just a pity it has an LS3 in it being a Ford man I really want a Ford engine in it. I know that limits my options some what. I have already changed the dream based on the cars available. I initially wanted a 427 with quad 48mm webbers and live rear axel just like the original sadly very few kits or no kits/cars around now have a non IRS rear end. Oh well never mind I can always build the 427 with quad webbers I guess.

Might need to do some more research Andrew. Both original 289 an 427 Cobras ran IRS. 289 had transverse leaf springs where as the 427 switch to a coil-over design. No originals ran live axle rear.

You might struggle with the webber equipped 427. The motor will need to meet current emissions rules to pass and that motor won't no matter what you do to it.
