Actually there was a thread here a while ago about AC Ace's with 283 chevy engines that pre-date the Cobra...

Cobra - Ford engines only.

AC Ace - Four different engines and counting...

Putting small blocks in big block cars, that's the real crime...

Yes, but they were 6 cylinder cars to start, and the small blocks were the only cars to hold true racing fame as the 427's never were allow to race under the FIA rules. but hey that is in the past, and unless you are lucky enough to own a true CSX car then the engne does not matter.
