Putting aside the 289 cars for the moment, anyone who takes a small block and bores/strokes it out to around 427 and calls it a "real Cobra motor" is deluding themselves. Sure you can get a bunch of power out of them, but it just ain't the same thing as a 427/428. And heaven forbid if some innocent bystander asks "Wow, it really has a 427 in it?" and the Windsor owner answers back "Yes, it sure does. That's a 427 alright. Yessirreeee." That's about as deceptive as a Bernie Madoff/Mark Sanford sandwich.

EDIT -- But if somebody can't tell the difference between a big block and small block when they're looking right at it then it probably doesn't matter anyway.
