How much does a ford racing 427 super cobra jet crate engine cost?

i'm building a shelby gt500 clone, and i wanted one of these engines for it, i read that its a 7.5L long block ford racing 427 super cobra jet crate engine, but it didn't say the price, i was wondering if anybody knew, thanks.|||The 'standard' 427 Ford is a medium hi rise side oiler big block, and they are expensive, because they are fairly hard to find. Ten grand will get you started, depending on what heads you want, but it's not enough for a working engine. How about this: You can stroke a Ford aluminum Windsor block to 427 for a lot less $$. I have an iron 351W stroked to 427 in my '89 Mustang, putting-out about 550 hp with factory Ford fuel injection %26amp; she runs all day on pump gas. The short block was a bit over 3 grand from a pro engine builder, and I did the rest of the work myself. I went big $$ on the heads, with aluminum Trick Flo R heads %26amp; a medium port job, so have about 7 grand of engine in the car.|||Summit Racing

Ford special order





All 3 should have the engines available.





However have you thought about one of the new 4.6 power plants with a possible turbo. Mustang and fast fords magazine has a few ungodly builds on them producing tons of power, and still maintaining decent fuel mileage.|||if you want unbelievable power, dont buy a crate engine. you cant ever get the performance out of a crate engine as an engine that you hand build and make sure it is perfectly balanced. and the 427 will be a great engine for that car.|||depending on "stage" 10 grand and up
