"I've tried to like them,but I just cant,I know they are cheap power nowadays ,but there heavy and ugly ,and dont sound so good, and please no offense meant to anyone,thats just my opinion,"
As I said,,just my opinion,and I dont remember anyone saying a 385 shouldnt be in a cobra,as Steelcomp said,I think many our arguments are emotional,I just dont like them,and yes I do they they sound strange,but thats my opnion.
I agree 100% with what you said about avalible parts and research toward 385 engines,the fe was ditched because it wasnt epa friendly ,and not interchangable with small blocks/clevelands etc.it would have to be different if there had been a major factory effort such as the 385 has had.another "what if"
I look at it like this
ollar for Dollar a C5 {or 6 ] corvette is way more car than any of us on this site will ever have in a cobra,and their a great driving car,but I wouldnt drive one if it was free,and have proven that,SO,,cobra = FE,,it just looks right,,to me,,lol
as I said again,,NO OFFENSE,,thats just me,,Tim
PS,,no matter where you put it,,100 lbs is LOT
