For the past 3 years, my next door neighbor has been building a Factory Five replica of the 1965-66 427 AC Shelby Cobra. He has it registered with plates and it's all painted and beautiful. Just needs to do some final adjustments (the TPS setting is not stationary.. it moves, thus causing his idle to rise). It needs to be inspected and then he's good to go.

For power, of course there is no Ford 427 NASCAR side oiler big block under the hood. These replica kits are made to take the small block Ford, though I believe you can get them for the big block. He currently has a crate 302 CID engine, bored and stroked to 331 cubes with AFR aluminum heads, a Comp roller cam, 1.7 rockers, of course headers-to-side-pipes, and a full after market intake manifold with plenum and everything else. Over 400 HP in his 2300 pound car.

Absolutely beautiful!!
