If provenance is your thing then it is a fact the AC Cars Ltd of England in the 60's built and sold at least two Cobra's with Chevy engines in the from the factory. And todays incarnation of Ac Cars sells their Cobra replica with a GM LS engine. And when it comes to resale time don't let the "Ford only in a Cobra crowd" that you cant sell a Chevy powered cobra, that is a load of BS. There is a large market of guy's who only want a Chevy in their HotRod shaped like a Cobra and will pay extra for it.

I can feel the anger welling up inside you, just talking about the majority opinion people who wounded you with words.
At least warn the poor guy that he will endure a lot of rude comments.
There are many reasons to put an engine other than what originally went into these cars. If you put something unique into one, people are wowed. If it is fast, people respect it. If you put something other than a Ford engine in it because it was cheap and plentiful, what is there to respect or admire? You might get made fun of like the guy who dropped a potato in the back of his bikini and strutted up and down the beach. (if you didn't hear the joke, he was supposed to put the potato in the front).
