Very, very few cobra owners can truly lay claim to building/owning exact replicas of original cars. olddog, by your own admission you own a "67 427 cobra SB," exactly what original model does that replicate? And blykins, you're "Cobra-less!"
You guys don't own replicas any more than I do, so get off your high horse.

There are degrees of sin.
A married man looks at another women, and has an un-pure thought.
A married man propositions another women, but decides to walk away.
A married man in a moment of weakness take another women to a hotel.
A married man has an affair.
A married man chases women every chance he gets.
A married man takes advantage of his neighbors teenage daughter.
A married man molests a 3 yrs old.
Are you saying that a married man who had an un-pure thought cannot judge a married man who had an affair? Or a married man who has had an affair cannot speak out against a child molester?
I never claimed to be pure or a purest. I actually said, in my first post in this thread, something to the effect "if you do not put the engine that belongs in a Cobra replica, at least keep it Ford, if at all possible."
Some of you seem like a man caught with a teenager, trying to justify what you have done by pointing out that most married people cheat.
You have to draw a line somewhere and say this is going too far. For me it is sticking a Chevy engine in a Cobra. I even allowed for a non Ford engine if it was creative and respectfully fast.
As for my Cobra, the single hoop roll bar bothers me more the the SBF. I purchased an already finished car. The previous owner was going to track the car and installed a roll bar that would allow it onto the track. Also a SBF has some advantages over the FE on a track. That said if I were to build a Cobra today it would be a 427 body with an FE engine.
