buddyg, how long is the poll going to run?

I haven't voted, but with only 42 respondents thus far, and tens of thousands of Cobras on the road, a) will this give you a representative sampling and b) what extrapolations and/or inferences will or can you make from the results? |

Every brand will be different.
As an example, if you look through the SAAC Registry, most 427 Shelby Continuation and 427 Kirkham Cobras are built with BBF's. Most ERA's appear to be built with BBF's. Most FFR's, SPF's and BDR's are built with SBF's. But what does that even tell you? |
And the same holds true for the 289 Shelby Continuation and 289 Kirkham Cobra's. I haven't checked the SAAC Registry recently, but I would bet that it is extremely rare that a BBF was installed in a 289 Shelby or Kirkham. I could check that tonight, but what does that tell you?

What you HAVE under your hood, might not be exactly what you WANT. The poll is asking what you HAVE. So I envisage a 1:4 split towards the SBF. It's just "easier" and cheaper to opt for a SBF. IMHO. |
Easy one for me to answer. One of each. love both.

More categories required if you want a census type breakdown of motors in cobra replicas. A couple below may be "0" but the option exists so you have to include it.
Cobra Model: 289, Motor: SBF Cobra Model: 289, Motor: SBC Cobra Model: 289, Motor: BBF Cobra Model: 289, Motor: BBC Cobra Model: 427, Motor: SBF Cobra Model: 427, Motor: SBC Cobra Model: 427, Motor: BBF Cobra Model: 427, Motor: BBC Should catch 99% of the hobby, add to it if you see a hole. |

I'm with Murky 781, I have one of each and love 'em both.

Not sure if we'll ever get the info we want (like we need information to get on each others' nerves :LOL:) from this poll.
Buddyg's question was simply "what you got?" The ratio of BB's is too high. |
I was told by Jamo I could not do the breakdown between Ford and Chevy it was included in the poll of mine he closed. I didn't think about the 289 because I figured the majority of them had small blocks.

And to further confuse the issue, the SB is in the track car and the BB is in the street car. :JEKYLHYDE |

After this poll peters out, Evan gets to run his to narrow down some answer...then somebody else can do one, etc. If nothing else, it'll keep folks busy. |
Fair enough Jamo :)

gracias senior

I feel disenfranchised because there was no category for 'really big block'. I'll therefore start a poll next, after Evan polls for how many care what SAAC says. :P
|
Well why the hell not...better than all of those pollsters calling and asking how the hell I feel about some republican in one of those useless states east of the Rockies.
|
#1, why do you have to ask someone if you can post something inquisitive, on a public forum?
#2, what would this poll do, other than divide those who have spent the money for a BB vs those who haven't or couldn't? Seems like a recipe for a class war fire. |
