You all know I would have to take a lash at this one. If you have an Original, Genuine AC-Ford-Shelby Cobra from the 60's DON"T EVEN THINK ABOUT putting anything else but a year and code correct Ford Engine in it. If you are building a Cobra replica and you are a Ford guy, put a Ford motor in it. If you feel that you must build a replica exactly like the original in hopes that you will fool somebody (maybe yourself) by all means put a Ford in it. But don't forget it is a kit with a frame probably made in Nebraska and a body made by someone who builds boat hulls. Now if you are a Chevy guy, a HotRod guy, a guy who wants the highest performance, Highest durability, highest parts availability, and by far a better price, then A CHEVY is the only way to go!!! But if you are a MOPAR guy go MOPAR. And now I know from my own experience with the sale of my Chevy powered HotRod shaped like a Cobra, that a Chevy under the hood can be a bonus and increase its resale value. These type of buyers are a smaller portion of the Cobra crowd but they are there and love a Chevy under the hood. So sit back press the go pedal down(Carefully) and enjoy the ride.
