I've said this a million times: you either set your mind to build a replica or you set your mind to build a kit car. A Cobra with a Chevy engine is along the same lines of those Fiero kit cars that are made to look like a Ferrari.

My first post up above was not tongue in cheek. It's to head off all the guys who try to offer up excuses for putting a Chevy in a Cobra. I don't even care if Shelby actually stepped foot in the GM headquarters finance office and was signing his name to a check. There were no Chevys in original Cobras and if we use that line of thinking, then anything goes.

If you read that article, you'll also see that the guy building that electric heap is in the business of making things look like stuff they're not: i.e. making a SBC look like a flat head Ford. Really?
