It is common knowledge among Shelby followers about he h.p. claims that I mentioned regarding the 428 installed in original Cobras.
Furthermore, I also stated the regard about insurance whoas. Many manuf. tuned down actual h.p. readings versus what was posted in a manuf. book.
I am buying or intend on buying this TURNKEY motor with WARRANTY from SA. I am not looking for a used this or used that that may compare in price. You mentioned $300.....
Misfit, provide me with a 428 w/ warranty, manuf. by a reputable company for the price of the 406 at SA and I will buy it. Most companies want more for a windsor!

i hope you didnt misunderstand,,i am not giving an argument,or selling anything,,but you were asking for opnions,and i gave mine,,thats all.
I would add that the mfg hp ratings dont mean much now,and any fe engine you decide to go with will do a great job in your car,I still dont understand why your builder couldnt build the 428 on the 390 block,if they can the 406,,may be worth asking,,good luck,,Tim
