Trying to decide which to build. This will be in my 94 cobra and will be a street car. Might see the tracks a few times but rarely.

Parts to go on will be vic jr heads, vic efi intake, custom cam.

Any pros or cons of either the 408 or 427?

408 personally, you also must also be careful when using a crank larger than 4.00 inch in a windsor block, it obviously can be done though. I had a guy put one together, didnt check rod clearance in the cam tunnel, well you know what happened when he started it :)

I have a 408, but I would go with a 427 if I had to do it again. But a 427 is going to need some serious breathing room, a 408 may suit your heads better.
