Two of my buddies have 427's in their Unique Cobras.
One is a '65 427 s.o. that Keith Craft stroked to 487. It has something like 620 fwhp and 630 fwtq. 9 to 1 compression. Very street-able. I've driven it a lot.
I had it at 7,000 in third gear and 6,700 in fourth. 3550 Tremec. 12" wide rear rims and lots of tire. Fast when you want it to be.
The other is a Pond's aluminum block 482 build by Keith Craft. 9.5 to 1 with TKO 600 630 fwhp & 640 fwtq. Very street-able.
Both will cruise in 5th (.84 ) at 1800 rpms with out the trailer hitch jerk.
And like someone said "it's a replica".
And 98% of the people that look under the hood "don't know"
Remember, Shelby sold a lot of 428 Cobra with 427 badges. So what is real?
