This is my friend Steve's Cobra. It doesn't get much notice at car shows because there are a lot of Cobra kit cars around and most people haven't got a clue what this engine is. His is an ERA replica special ordered for this engine. This particular 427 SOHC engine originally belonged to the late Mike Marinoff. Mike used to drag race gassers back in the 60's and had this new-in-the-crate 427 still laying around in his shop when he died. Steve bought it from Mike's son when he sold off the business. (Marinoff Engine Modification) He's gone through it, changed a few things ade some improvement, but overall, it's still an original cast iron Cammer, not an aftermarket aluminum copy. Yes, those are real magnesium Halibrand wheels. IMO, this is the nicest Cobra in this area.
