Tom, as Bernie has correctly pointed out, we can't register our cars with anything by the late series engines. If you want a cobra, and wish to drive it, then you have no choice.
You folks across the pond should consider yourselves very fortunate that you can still use the old 5Ltr., 351W, or even the older FE/427. The cars we build in Australia are seen no differently to new cars from the showroom and must comply as such. And.....
To make matters worse some kits can't fit the cammer ford engines between the footwells.
The Holden/chev powered cobras hold their price more than favorably with the Ford powered cars in Australia.
You're entitled to your .02 as you call it but to comment on a situation in another country of which you have little knowledge displays a propensity to put ones foot in ones mouth.
Just my .02.
