427 in a cobra?
Ok someone told me that Blue Oval News said that ford was going to put a 427 in the car in 2002 or 2003. I went there and couldn't really find any hard evidence. Just that they said the 4.6 was not looking good for the car. I keep looking and find a page with stats on the 2003 mustang and cobra. It looks like there is going to be 4 available engine seletions for the mustang. A 3.0L DOHC with 215HP and a 4.0L with 210HP. Top speed for both is 120. The other two engine options are the 4.6 SOHC GT with 285HP and a 4.9 SOHC GT with 290HP. Top speed for these two is rated at 142. Now the Cobra. It's engine will be a 5.0L with 350HP and it's top speed is rated at 155mph. Oh yeah none of the models are available with a supercharger. I was just woundering if anyone else has heard of the 427 to make a comeback in the cobra. I also seen this posted at another website. I have no Idea where he got his info. " Anybody see the latest announcement from Ford about the 2002 Cobra? They've redesigned the old 427 cammer motor, now it has electonic fuel injection, over 665 hp & can pass emissions in every state!! According to 'Blue Oval News', it runs 9.90's on street tires, through the mufflers...a little pricey at $46,000 but still a heII of a deal compared to Vipers & Corvettes.Remember this day, Ford's #1!" So if anyone knows any info about it please tell me! That would be so sweet if Ford did that!
