Your photo is of Weber carbs on a small block...

Do you want that, or Webers on an FE engine (the big-block family the 427 belongs to), or aftermarket mechanical or EFI on an FE engine (real Cobras didn't come with fuel injection)?

Whatever this , Webber on a FE. 

 

 

 

I bought this on EBay not usable for what I want 

 

 

Would also like to find some gold stripes for it.

Well...that IS EFI, not Webers. You can tell by the fuel rails down the center, and no float bowls on the throttle bodies.

It's on a fiberglass "continuation" Daytona Coupe, CSX9110         https://silodrome.com/shelby-daytona-coupe/

I don't know if you want the efi or the Webers set up. The best looking 427 Cobra engine kit I found was here...

It doesn't have a Weber set up but he does offer for his Ford FE Big Block Gasser engine and maybe he'd sell you the intake with the Cobra engine?

If you want a 427 with a quad Weber setup, then Texas 3D Customs is a good bet.
 

As to the hood scoop, I was under the impression both the Fujimi and Revell 427S/C kits HAD that scoop on their hoods. Am I not catching something in the profile?

[Jon Haigwood]

I have the kit 427 engine hoping to find just the manifold setup but may just order the entire engine and save the kit 427 for something else. I will need to use the kit headers as most of the resin ones are wrong for my application.

I have the Monogram 427 S/C Cobra kit that doesn't have the scoop. It also comes with the wire wheels that are wrong for a 427, I have some correct wheels a club member gifted me. I may just scratch build my own scoop.

You know that engine is from the Chevrolet LS-family, right? And the square-tube frame is not original Cobra, right? Or is this just an illustration of the general header type you need?

I'm not trying to be a butt, really...just trying to understand exactly what you're looking for.

A few days back. I saw a set of printed headers like that on eBay when I was looking for something else, but I didn't flag 'em.

Maybe I can find 'em again...

I do have the headers from the kit that will do,

Sounds like you have the "street" cobra kit with dual quads?  That hood would not have a scoop.  Also, if you are doing an S/C, the street cobra front and rear bumpers would be incorrect.

Have you actually built or started that kit?  I have an unopened S/C like depicted in the second photo

Yes, I would like them back since the kit has the wheels in it.  Thanks.

I can use them on another project (possibly).  I am building another street Cobra as the one I built some years back was damaged by a JUDGE at a model contest when he manhandled it during the judging process.  Broke off the hood and one of the doors (that I cut open and hinged) and then dropped it on the table, wrecking the front suspension.  I got it out of the moving box here just after Christmas and looked at repairing.  Decided a lost cause and need to start over.  Nice thing is that the correct street wheels are now produced and I got a set. 

The kit you got is actually closer to a street Cobra and was what I used back when I first built one.  That would be much easier for me to build what I want than take parts from the damaged kit and merge them with an S/C. 

I will check my open S/C kit to be sure, but it may only have the racing windscreen, not the full windshield.  If you want the full windshield for you project, you'll need to take it out of the kit you're trading.  I'll let you know.

The S/C kit does have both windshield options, so you will be fine there

I will be releasing a new FE lineup soon with 3 different transmissions available and long tubes as well.
