You can make an FE do anything you want it to... look right, sound right, have blinding performance, whatever. If you don't put an FE in your 427 style Cobra, there will be a segment of the populace that will always be disappointed/confused/irritated. So long as you're not part of that group, then it really doesn't matter. But if you are, or you think you might be, then it becomes the #1 most important decision you make after choosing the manufacturer itself. Personally, I can't even comprehend the notion of not putting an FE in to a quality build of a 427 style car.
