Opinions will vary, but.. the basic truth is that, in a Cobra replica, any FE is better than a non-FE, a 427 Side Oiler is the cream of the crop. A 427 Center Oiler might be a little better than a 428, which is a good all-around choice for authenticity and power. A 390 is one step below the 427s and 428s. There are some other, lesser known, FEs but you don't hear too much about them.
