Various combo's of Hemi power have been in Cobras over the last 15 years in several Cobras. Heck, I'm a sorta mopar guy and have a megga block sitting in my garage and think about it from time to time too. The reality is they are not any faster than any other BB engined Cobra out there, and when they are in a Cobra if they are sold they usially come out in favor of conventional engines. In those cases most times you can sell the engine and re-coup the cost of the car itself. This is just a nice way to say that most non-Ford engines usially effect resale of these cars. That said, they are neat, a few years back I rode in a 572 Hemi in a Cobra. That car now has a 512 Ford and the engine is in a 71 Challenger convertible and that Challenger clone is worth more that most repoduction Cobras too.
