I wanted to know what people think the best powerplant to put under the hood? 302, 427, or any others and what is a perfect amount of power or street but sounds well mean but wont be abused except for maybe showing up some sap with a $100K car with one you built? any thoughts and what about trans ideas?

p.s. does a fuel injection sound the same as a carb with the side exhuast or is it a little different?


oh, one more thing im getting ready to build one but need to get rid of the mgb, but i have aways wanted the cobra with the 427 with around 500hp, is this a mistake? let me know please im only 25 and have not been around originals long enough, unlike possible some of the older, i mean more seasoned guys and gals, to know if the 427 is really a bit too heavey for the car when it comes to handling. but this is not going to be a track car. maybe someone have driven both and can shed some light on this for me.
