It is nice to hear a conversation about a Chevy engine in a Cobra ( or any other project) without the "FORD ONLY IN A COBRA" chorus shouting at you! Today the lineup of GM engines with their performance, durability, weight, price and after market support and R&D ,GM is the better choice. Unless you are a Ford guy then by all means use a Ford. To use a Ford to try to make your replica a "Real One" is just dumb! Unless it was made by Shelby American, it will be simply a HotRod that has the shape of a Cobra! So use the best engine for your skill and price range.
