Mike. Nice reasonable probabilty, would have been, assume, appears, good story... Sure. You are completely missing the point on the lightweight motors, and plug wire configuration, and specific applications. The reason your GT40 light weight motor photo, NOT Cobra, shows around the front wires is they have to go around the front in a 427 engined, GT40. No discussion, as your friend Steve alluded to. The headers, over the top, -- bundle of snakes -- over the valve cover pipes, preclude a wire configuration of the stock COBRA style ignition wire route. The 58mm carburetor clearance story sounds good also but ... I actually, really, ran my current motor on the dyno with a 4 bbl , 2- 4bbls, 48 mm webers, and 58mm weber, not to mention five different camshafts. Again for Steve, no Dreaming here. We used the same , over the valve cover, stock location, perfectly tailored ignition wire set on each of the carburetor set ups. Finally, yes, you can run plug wires any way you want in Cobra, if you don't care what is historically correct.
