My brother always buys the motors I've had in previous vehicles and I tend to build my next motor a little more potent than the one I sold him. However, the last motor I sold him was a 434 sbc that is 550hp and torque right up there with it! Sounds like fun and maybe a little much in the Cobra because if you can't hook up you're just burning tires. Keep the comments coming!

The motor in my SPF is a 434 ci Roush motor. dynoed at 561hp / 548tq. I changed the carb so I am probably making a little more hp than when it came from Roush, but it is about the same as the motor you are describing above. I love the motor in the SPF, but it is almost impossible to hook up. I am thinking of going to some drag radials on the rear for some more traction. Even though it is probably over kill for the street, I would not change anything. It is a great running motor, and has a much nastier cam than the 427R.
