I hate to tell them, but that is not a 427 Cobra Jet engine. That looks like a 400M, which actually a small block. Not a bad swap, but just not what the headline says.

Just as long that it is a 400M and not a 351M which have the same exact block but have 351C innards. They were made for "gas shortage" back in the day and considered better mpg. In actuality they were a boat anchor and useless unless transferred back into a 400M.

It's a standard 429/460, not a 427 or Cobra Jet engine.

Looks like a great swap, but I agree with the Ford guy.

It was a typo (my sons car) its a 429cj. It had a 400 when we bought it.

Sorry guys it was a typo. It is a 429 cobra jet. I think I accidentally pushed 7 instead of the 9.
