Engine choice is really up to you. Lots of Cobra's have small and big block ford engines. Plenty of 5.0 out there too. Some choose to put a chevy in. It's really what you what. I changed engines in mine and went with a higher horsepower small block, a 351 stroked to 408. I wanted more power but something streetable. You can get 351's to 427 too or you can get a big block and go bigger. So many choices it's a hard decision. A friend tried to talk me into a new 5.0 but I'm old fashioned, nothing sounds better than a pushrod engine with a healthy cam so I went that route. Good luck with your choice. Whatever you decide, it will all be good.
