Sort of like the 6 pot Willwood front brakes and the dual adjustable coil overs, a 1 on originality but better! From an enginerd stand point the box steel ladder/birdcage frame used by Hurricane and to some extent, ERA is torsionally more rigid.

I think I'm in the same boat. If it's outwardly visible, I want it to look pretty close. That said, I'd sacrifice some originality in the engine for the arguably better handling of a small block. Alas, a 427W does have that magic number... silly, but appealing as a result.

In a nut shell, I have built/owned cobras from entry level to Kirkham and the Hurricane is a real contender.

All great to hear. I'm happy to hear it's got a ladder/birdcage chassis. Many thanks for the info!
