I'm preparing to sell my my 428 FE with or without my Tremec TKO.
This thread is just to see,..... what the interest is. I will post all of the stats. later. 0.60 over with no sleeves and have never had a problem with it.
I polished the block smooth and painted it the body color. It can be easily be scuffed and painted to your choice of color.
I have two chassis dyno numbers.
Dyno-Jet- 401 HP
Mustang dyno- 331 HP.
My Lone Star side pipes are supposed to be very restrictive. I'm planning on building new stainless pipes and will put it back on the Mustang dyno when finished to see if there's a difference. I'm expecting higher numbers.
I need to get everything done, as my car and my KC Pond aluminum engine, will be in a future article of "Kit Car Builder". (how cool)
I plan on taking photo's and new video of the engine idling, cruise around town and on the highway. Someone here, posted on how to add a Youtube video so, hopefully I can figure it out. I don't know what the time limit is ? I could post it on Youtube and attaché a link if that would be better.
Here is a link from last summer in Kansas at the Hot Rod Power Tour. A friend drove her home as I was too ill. There is no problem with this engine, I'm only selling it because I've always wanted a side oiler. The engine really rocks and sounds awesome. On the tour, I was not taking it easy (who can in a cobra)
on got 13 mpg. With my buddy driving it home he got 17 mpg. If I would stay at 65mph or under, I'm sure it be even better. But who cares ! lol
Video- "A little......fun with my 427 cobra".

The crank is stock and turned it 10/10.
Stock rods.
Compression is apx. 10:3:1
I had comp cams grid a solid flat tappet, 600 lift, 252/260 at .050 and 112 lobe sep. You can really hear it in the video.
I had the heads ported and polished and matched with the gaskets and headers.
It will basically be a long block with bare heads. I'll use the valve train in the new aluminum heads. I polished the aluminum Edelbrock water pump and will think if it will go also. I will be keeping the following.
Carb.
Oil pan.
Timing cover.
Valve covers. The pic below shows alum. but I now have Pentroofs)
Distributor.
Spark wires.
MSD box.
Pulleys.
Valve train.
My custom made thermostat housing. ect.
I have a Vic Jr. intake on the engine now, that I polished then had it ceramic coated. I will have to think, if it will be included or sell for a new Endurashine RPM ? (I like things shinny)
I realize there will be many common questions and will respond to them but, like I said, this is just a post to see if there is any interest here as apposed to selling it locally. When I get my KC motor, I will use the same crate to box up my engine, and the tranny if the buyer wants it too.
After I list the engine parts, I'll be accepting any reasonable offers.
If you have a price in mind, go ahead and offer. It is still too cold to take pics and video, but for now these are what I have.
(my wife does not,...come with the car.
