Default From the inside.

At a recent car club event for Sunbeam Tigers that Mr. Shelby and company attended I had the oppotunity to talk to some of the guys who built up the Cobras. One of the guys there was the lucky stiff who got the nod to cram the first 427 into a Cobra. He told me the orgional intention was to use the SOHC motor but they dropped that idea when they could not get enough of them.
