Can't say an FE motor would be my first choice if building a Cobra...

How's this for heresy? I wonder how much glass work it would take to adapt that body to fit an Exocet chassis.

$9,000 seems like a bit much for a basket of parts.  I'd take that for my Japanese Cobra for anyone really wanting a loud roadster.  And it runs and drives already.

CMC does not have a good reputation in the kit Cobra community.

Wasn't the 427 an FE engine? 

In reply to spitfirebill :

And the 428!

Still sort of an OK engine, but it's heavy. Also, pushrods through the intake! WOW.

Sorry you RUN from that even at 4-5K.

You would be better off spending 3K on that then throwing it away and then getting a FFR kit from a financial perspective as well.

Unfinished Cobra kit car plus wrecked Honda S2000 equals awesome.

 I keep an Eye Open For a Cobra Body. I have a Nice chassis(ERA)427 fire damaged, I would use a 390 in a Heart Beat If building for Looks and HP is plenty for a Street Car.

A guy I work with wants to find a cheap Cobra body to put on a Blazer or Bronco chassis.  Just because.

I am Glad that Carroll Shelby chose it as his First Choice

I know that everyone here can do it cheaper but a Side oiler FE block makes a 10,000 dollar engine,  If you think I am wrong send me your address I'll send you buyer's
