Don't read too much into the legislation that you refer to. It requires the seller to install a modern (new) emissions compliant power train. The market for such a configuration in the US seems to be fairly limited for the Cobra market where most people prefer a period correct type of power train, ie, big block original or small block old style. Furthermore, the only engine that is on the list (as of today) is the Chevrolet LS3; no Ford product is qualified yet, although you can't imagine a Coyote is too far away. Factory Five will probably sell all the 32 Fords they are allowed to make.
