FE vs Coyote

FE Vs Coyote?

This is like comparing a T-Rex to an Elephant. One is a warm blooded, vegetarian, mammal. The other a cold blooded, meat eating, dinosaur. They are nothing alike, other than they both breathed air.

No one asked why the original OP had narrowed his choice to these two. I have to assume that the OP has had absolutely no interest in engines in his past. By the things he is considering, he knows he needs one to make his Cobra go, but does not understand the huge difference between these too engines. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Based on this assumption, I have to think the OP will be much happier with the Coyote. Decent power, modern day reliability, and good manors will make him happy. Remember it is what would make the OP happy, not what would make me or you happy!

Unless one is going against the Cobra's nature... which is abhorrent. He should consider the children's eyes, as they well up with tears, at the mere sight of a Coyote engine.

I guess if that's who you hang with, the peer group whose opinions mean a lot to you, then absolutely let them dictate the motor for you, you'll be much happier being king on their hill

I give you an "A" on the theatrics and emotional strings, but an "F" on reality.

Children's eyes light up when they see a Cobra. They are too young to have a clue as to what engine belongs in one.

The younger generations are few and far between to have any understanding of how an engine works. Many are lucky to know how to check the oil let alone change it. Cars are so reliable today they rarely need worked on. They are so complicated to work on they intimidate. Any power level can be purchased from the factory, so there is little need to build your own hot rod. To these generations they see no problem with a modern engine in a Cobra.

I'm afraid the old codger purest's are the only ones who cry about modern engines in a Cobra.
