I have the fortunate luck of having a father-in-law that will give me a 427 side-oiler, if I pay to complete the rebuild. Currently, it sits in a machine shop in pieces. All the parts are there, just requires labor time to complete. My father-in-law already has a 428 that he'll be installing in an AC Cobra.
So here's my dilema:
I greatly prefer the classic body lines of the Mk1 over the Mk2. And judging by the members rides in this forum, we're all in agreement. But as far as I can tell, there are no replicas that are designed to put a big block in a Mk1 Body.
Is this correct, or am I misinformed?
Would a big block simply overheat without the extra scoops of the Mk2?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Quinn
