If you are planning on it being a track car - go with a small block (they make a 460 small block crate motor) - if it's going to be used primarily for street driving and shows, Big Block is the way to go. I'm all about the crate motors as they come with warranties and mine has been a gem. 28,000 miles of abuse (street, road course, and drag racing) and it's still as strong as ever.

hi I recently bought a Johnex Cobra with a ford racing crate engine, I am finding some problems with the engine height, the cobra oval air cleaner was modified to fit under the hood, it also has the torker 2 intake but the engine was supposed to have a performer intake but it is 1.75" higher so would not fit, not the small ports of the torker 2 don,t match the huge cobra jet head ports, it has a demon carb ,I want to put a double pumper 850 ultra with electric choke but I am worried the choke ass. won't fit under the modified air cleaner, my question to you is was your air cleaner modified?
