When I re-ignited my Cobra replica fever a couple years ago I was thinking one of the stroked Windsor 427 motors, like Smelding has been selling, would be the ticket. But, it seems like there are more and more FE builders showing up so now I'm thinking about that - probably a 428. But most of the crate motor Cobra packages are built around a lot of horsepower, and I'm planning a Street Cobra. I'm looking for something more in the Police Interceptor range or a little more - very streetable - with not much more cam than the old Cobra-Jet unit. Southern Automotive has a 428 package rated at 460 HP that may be close to what I'm looking for but their website doesn't provide much info of the cam duration or rpm range.

Has anyone else had any good experiences with other FE builders with a 428 crate motor built around the Police Inteceptor or Cobra Jet model or not too much more?

As always - thanks in advance for your response.
