cobras had only 289's and 427s, the first car may have had a 260, but no 240s, 390s, or 428s. the asking price may seem a little high, but that depends on the buyer. you can't find a new 427 anywhere, this motor is for a special car that is built to all orignal specs. I love 427s, it is why I am a ford fanatic today. But I do a lot of street racing and the original engines become grenades after pumping them up to about 800 hp. I am thinking about building a 700 cu. in. Blown big block cobra with about 1300 hp. only thing is I don't know who's going to drive it. we have a lot of bad street chevys where I'm at, some are capable of running high 7's in street trim. have to build a ford that will kick their butts.
