FE vs. 460
I'm a new guy here, and I apologize if this has already been beat to death here.
I'm wanting to build a Cobra, and I'm in the early stages of deciding which kit, which motor, which transmission, etc....
Anyhow, what are the relative merits of the installation of a 460 or FE in a Cobra?
I'm very familiar with both engines, and I know the FE is the historical/nostalgic favorite, but I would really prefer to simply build a moderate 460.
The crux of my question is this.
Which lends itself best to installation and maintenance in a Cobra body?
What are the shortcomings for access to each ones vitals?
I know the FE is heavier, but what is the real difference in weight?
What problems are there with hood clearance?
Suspension/steering access?
Anyhow, you get the idea.
I'm eager to learn as much about them as I can before I spend the $$$$ on one.
