The engine has a mean idle, revs quickly, and pulls the car hard. You still have to start with a rolling start and then ease into the throttle or you will just break loose the tires. You can go big and go for the 427R, but unless you absolutely have to have a "427", I don't think you wil find much difference for the money. Put it towards the tranny or another item.

I don't have any time slips for comparison, but when you own one of these cars with almost any engine combo, the only car you should be afraid of is another cobra or one with blue lights.

Check out my photosite for the engine installed. www.jlennon3.photosite.com

Are you sure you don't have the 402SR?
