If you mean Dick Smiths 427 Cobra ? I believe it was running a 427 lightweight engine when it was clocked doing 198 MPH.

Dick told me the engine was actually 472cu.in.

Thanks for that info Roy..... That would explain why his car was making that much more steam over the other, FE guys!

Happy Holidays everyone... Question, was the steel lined hoods of 67 only used on the non vent hoods or were they lined on both vented and non vented hoods?
