to me the 460 class motor makes the least sense of any of the more popular engines. they are heavy , wide and non original. The FE is top dog in most cobra circles, mostly due to its originality factor and it just looks right in the cobra bay. It too has shortcomings, heavy, expensive, somewhat bulky. I would choose an FE first, then a 351 based second, 302 next and 460 last. this is not to say a 460 is a bad motor, I just do not think it best for a cobra.
