I must be one of the few that do then. But that's OK.

Back to the original post - would you buy a cobra with a Chevy 350 and fiberglass cracks that need repair if it was cheap?

I don’t care about the cracks – root cause analysis and corrective action will nail that.
Chevy engine? That’s the fun part of the question! Didn’t CS approach the Chevy boys when he was looking for ‘motivation’ for what became the Cobra, and didn’t they just laugh at him? And then what happened? Isn’t that little bit of history good enough reason even now to avoid a cheapie with an SBC?
