My first impression of that much stroke is going to be gobs of torque at lower rpms and it ain't gonna buzz to 7 grand or more like a 427. To me it would be a great engine for a 4x4 Ford pickup from 1974 back. (I did one with a 410) I have a hard time seeing it as a Cobra engine with any more stroke than 3.98 (410cid)

Just my old FE background working here.
