ENTDOC, I will agree the 427 has no real issues. With today parts and technology there are no issues with the 427 but the cost. Let not forget that 580 Cobras were small block, 60 were 427 Competition Cobras. 348 were 427 or 428 and that includes the 60 S/C Cobras.
My Cobra has a small block and POWER BY FORD badges. It is the 427 S/C body. And when they ask me what motor I have, I ask them what does it sound like? Most say 427 but what the hell do they know. I'll agree the 427 is the most famous of the motors in a Cobra. But Cobras with a 427 did not win all the races that history credit the Cobra with.
Just wish I had the money to put one in my Cobra.
