Probably but not a wild idea. Chrysler installed their motor, transmission, front K-frame and suspension assembly from underneath. I helped a friend install his Hemi engine and front sub-assembly in his 69 Roadrunner this way. He used his engine hoist to raise the front of the car up in the air and the whole engine/front end assembly rolled in under the car on a caster frame and the car front end was lowered over it until the K-member seated on the body. The main problem with this on a Cobra would be having some sort of bolted on frame extension to chain the engine hoist to - although the hoist could be tied to the front frame rails at the very front of the hood opening area, ahead of the engine position. Intriguing idea but I’m not sure a practical one.
