Engine Option (Just For Discussion)

[HSC-ZL1]

Which engine is best. When I titled my kit car, I presented the inspector with MY manufacture tags. Technically I am the manufacturer of my car, so I built it MY way. In 1968 I was looking at a blown up cobra, I also had an original ZL-1 available.(it turned out to be a little warm so I passed.) To present day the heritage ZL-1 came available so I put together a 40 plus year old idea. I liked the SOHC, been done. I liked the boss 429, been done. If somebody and their kids built a kit with a 4cylinder from an old pick-up, I'd consider that pretty cool if that was what they could afford and spent the hundreds of hours together building their car. I just wanted something different. Its the builders choice, do what you like and enjoy it.

Love the Cammer as well and have helped work on them, but they are too worrisome for me with all the variables and reliability (that's just me) as well as fitment issues.

Love the Boss 429 as well, but fitment issues etc in a Cobra...

Love the Tunnel Port 427 too!

Love to hear an SBC scream at over 10k (saw in one of Larry Minor's cars)

Lots of love above, I know. But I always end up back at the well-built FE MR that I personally understand best.
