Big block or small block?

I'm fairly sure that both small blocks and big blocks can do all three (road courses, trophies and burnouts) quite adequately for 99.99% of us newbies as well as the old folks around here at CC.

If you think I insulted you then I apologize but when I first got interested in Cobras I was a newbie and I also thought the 427FE was the end all in racing engines. My first engine was in fact a SO 427 so I know a little bit about them I also know they are highly prized today and they are better suited to show/street Cobras.
Once you spend some time around the Cobra scene you find out what real experts prefer in racing Cobras. Bob Bondaurant was one of the first to say that the 351 Windsor was a better balanced Cobra for racing.
When Shelby introduced their spec racing Cobra a few years back it was a 427 body with a 351 Windsor so those guys know something about how to make a well balanced race car.
Now if I was in the market for a street Cobra my choice would be a FE powered Kirkham so I am not anti FE.
So lighten up a little nobody is dissing your car or engine choice.
