427 Sideoiler block, keep compression around 9:8:1 so it will run on pump gas

Heads of your choice-me personally, I'm a huge fan of a matching tunnelport heads and 2x4 intake with twin 600cfm Holley DB's installed and chassis (not engine) dyno tuned. Feeding in to either a big spline, wide ratio toploader 4spd, or an equivalent tremec 5spd.


No need for a wild stroker kit in a street driven FE powered Cobra, unless you are doing it for your own ego, keep it simple, makes lots of power, aim for 425-450 at the rear wheels and you'll have a Cobra that will work well under all conditions.........
