Trev- G'day and so many indeed!
But, i thought only Shelby made 427 Cobras... ?
The English only wanted a quick 289 Sport thing and the US didn't have...
Nicely ignored story here somewhere, isn't there? At least 17 427's ID'd so far and still counting. MKIV's are easy to mod, though. Bet there are at least several+ more of them. And that doesn't even discuss the 351's either. What does the great book say?
Meanwhile, that 7.6L must be plenty rich with 2 x 4bbl's and a nervous driver that doesn't short shift much. The internal drag of a bigger V-8 doesn't cause that kind of milage disaster... poor set-up, jets wrong, accel pump zero lashed, small side-pipe ID's, small air filters, nervous and unskilled driver (who used to drive a 2.2L Porche or maybe a 1L Abarth) and perhaps an engine w/o a thermostat (to keep it cooler in the slower traffic) driving on a chilly lane. Dopey milage like that takes more than one error.
