Thanks for all the Solid advice. I've pretty much made up my mind on using Gary at GT for the install, but picking the engine seems to be pretty tough. I need something streetable but a little wild & crazy on the HP (not too crazy).
It seems that most folks I've talked to that are actually driving their car often don't have the 427 but maybe the stroker 408 or stroker 347. I talked to one guy and he said that with the stroker 427 that the connecting rods are so long that the piston can bang into valves or something like that. It's not like I can actually go out and test drive these and decide then. I'm not really into the bragging rights of it; altho, having a cobra in itself is bragging rights. I doubt I'll be taking this to the track, but that mindset may change once I learn the car.
I'm sure that if I don't get the 427 that some of my buddies are going to give me the why-didn't-you-get-the-427 speech. But then again, my buddies aren't in a position to even fathom making this kind of purchase. Maybe I need some new buddies
