One Quote isn't the whole story , the car that was called a turd was the 1st time that a 427 was installed in a 289 chassy. It isn't a surprise that the brakes and the handling wasn't very good. I have a 428 FE so I like the power. But the 289 cars are fun to drive.
In is interesting that the most popular motor in todays Kit's are 351 blocks and they nerver was around and niether was the BMW suspensions. Some of the Cobra Kits have changed the wheel base , the width and not even close to the dimensions of the originals. So built what you like .
