Sorry, no real Cobra came with power brakes. They have 4 wheel discs with Girling calipers, with a separate master cylinders and reservoirs for front and rear.. With a 289 weighing ~1,900 pounds and a 427 weighing 2,200 pounds, the manual brakes do require effort but they can haul you down from speed pretty quickly. I have two 427's and two 289's, I am pretty knowledgeable on the Cobra.

All Automotive 427 FE’s have cross-bolted mains. Performance wise, a center oiler and side oiler have the exact same potential. The side oiler was designed to make it live under extreme stress.

[@johnfriend862]

The linkage looks correct now. The original 427s were "top oiler" engines, because it gave oil to the cams first, then pumped oil to the bottom end. This was destructive in NASCAR, as the mains starved for oil at sustained high RPM. So, the next generation gave priority oiling to the mains, hence the capillary tubes visible in the casting. I've got two real deal 427 Cobras, both side oilers, one is a comp car and one a street car. The comp car is a single 4 barrel Lemans bowl race engine and street car has an R code dual quad similar to this one. Both like 36 degrees all in on timing, original 12.5/1 compression running 100 octane race fuel. The race engine made a staggering 553 HP on the dyno, two dual quad car made a monster 605 pounds of torque. Both were built by Keith Craft, both are basically all original. Keith told me the R code made more torque than any dual quad 427 he had ever built. A properly set up 427 can be a beast. The street car weighs 2,200 pounds and will blow the tires off in 4th gear at 55 mph, it can get sideways at will. Those vents on the back of the intake were notorious for dripping oil and making you think you had a weird leak. Those engines build a lot of crankcase pressure.

[@jasonwalker999]

Correct on side oiler vs top/center oiler. I have one in a 63-1/2 Galaxie from my dad. It has restrictors in the top end to keep the oil to a minimum on the top end and keep oil down low. It was a band aid until Ford came out with the side oiler due to engines not surviving nascar races. Though the top/center oilers were still more durable than the Chevy counterparts. I also have two 69 Chris Craft 427’s. Really only good for the blocks and one crank.

[@scottb8175]

Non - side oiler = "top oiler". The side oiler pumped oil to the crank first through a new cast in oil gallery on the side of the block not found in any other FE blocks, then the oil went to the camshaft. The top oiler pumped the oil to the camshaft first, from an oil gallery cast in the lifter valley like most other old Ford v-8's, then the crank. Sustained high rpm racing (NASCAR) the 427 Ford would have crankshaft rod and main bearing issues caused by insufficient oil supply. The side oiler fixed the problem, and was used in the 427 SOHC too. In street and drag racing, the top oiler worked well enough.

[@rickschlosser6793]

I had that on a 390 in my '67 Fairlane GT with a toploader 4spd.. I had brake booster issues !! Unless you were totally off the throttle and downshifting, the pedal was hard as a rock. Had no vacuum gauge so can't tell you what it was, but definitely not enough ! Kinda surprised yours didn't make more power than it did, given the cam and heads.

The 427 isn't the only ford engine to have cross bolted main bearing caps. The 406 also came that way. I don't know any tells on the 427/406 to let me know what I'm looking at other than the block/casting numbers. If anyone else knows a tell I would like to know. Being a tri-power isn't a tell. The 390 and 406 could both be had with a tri-power. I'm not sure if the 406 tri-power intake could bolt up to the 427 but I'm not sure about that either. The 406 and 427 are so rare I've not had much exposure to them. One of the coolest things I have been exposed to was a 1962 4 door galaxy with a 4 speed and a 406 tri-power. I'm sure it was a very low production number but my buddy was using it as his daily driver. Cars are meant to be driven.

That engine block is known as "Top Oiler", just like all the other FE engine blocks 352, 390, 428, etc. because when you pull off the intake manifold, you'll see the main oil feed galley running down the lifter valley and feeding off from there. Just fine for street or drag racing. The Side Oiler was born out of the need to keep the crank oiled during NASCAR racing where the engine was subjected to 6000+ RPMs for long periods of time. The Top Oiler would not keep up with the supply demands in those conditions.

Semantics... We always reduced oil volume to the top end to prevent flooding. Side oiler gives priority to the mains.

I'm sure some buyers were clueless and some thought bigger is better, but if I was buying an exotic car I'd want the exotic motor in it, not a mild engine with less HP. Imagine opening the hood on your Countach and seeing a SBC motor. On the other hand there are a lot of Jaguars driving around with a SBC motor and it'd prefer that to the XJ6 motor.

Ford sold service replace parts for every part for at least 10 years after the last model year for the parts. The last year for the 427 was 1968, so a replacement cylinder block was available at least through 1978. The last year for the 428 was 1970, so a replacement cylinder block was available through 1980. Not all service replacement parts were exact matches for the original parts. In the 1970's the service replacement 427 block was made to replace both the solid lifter and hydraulic lifter versions. It came with at least one soft plug and drilling instructions for the lifter conversion. It was a high nickel side oiler block. The 1970's 428 service replacement block was a 391 truck engine block, that was very heavy and had an external oil passage. It was bored to the 428 bore and the external oil passage was plugged.
