Ebay- Cobra with Ford covers on a Chevy engine ? SILLY !
I think this Cobra for sale on ebay that has a Chevy engine, but the valve covers are the "Cobra Powered By Ford",..... is silly ! 
(oh, but he say it's a Corvette,....motor) 
I do prefer,...at least a Ford engine in a Cobra, but I won't smash someone for using a different make, but why put Ford valve covers on the Chevy engine ?

No one has to hide a Chevy in a Cobra replica, and a Hemi in a Cobra replica is a Bad Ass ride!!!You can get valve covers that just say Cobra or LeManns Cobra for a Chevy so why would you want to say powered by ford??? Fords are great engines and they are great in a Cobra replica and so is a Hemi,and so is a Chevy and from a cost ,performance and durability Chevy is a better choice. And let's not kid ourselves for those of us with a replica, it's not a real Cobra it is a hot rod that is shaped like a Cobra.

I have no problem with the engine choice, but covering a Chevy motor with Ford covers ?
That's like having a Hemi, with Chevy covers !
Very lame.

I am surprised they didn't move the distributor to the front to really make it look real. They have a kit for that also.

Yup. The kit mounts the engine backwards.
