If I had any sense I would just transplant a late model Mustang powertrain in it!

Nah, I'm a big block kinda guy.
I've had lotsa 454's over the years, including one in my current 4x4 Suburban.
I can't make myself stoop to putting a GM powertrain in a Cobra, though it makes alot of sense.

It's gotta be a Ford motor, and I'm torn between the FE that I never really liked for 30 years or a 460 that could be built much cheaper.
I see Ford offers a crate 460 for under $10k list, but no FE at all.


If one would presume to use logic, I'd just go get the wife a new Mustang GT with an automatic.
Factory warranty, dealer support, and I would seldom have to wrench on it.

Believe it or not, SHE would rather have the Cobra as well after seing the prices on the new Shelby, Roush and Saleen stuff, so I have to follow my own little torturous path to Cobra ownership, while still lucky enough to have the blessing of the wife!
