I have Ford engines in mine but I have friends that have MOPARS, Chevys, and one person that I have seen has a Volkswagen engine in his Cobra. These are not original cars and to me, whoever builds one or has one built is doing it for himself and should use whatever engine he likes. As for original engines, there were no 302s or 351s back when the originals were built. They had 260s, 289s, and 427s.

No, I wasn't kidding. I couldn't believe it either until he showed me. He wanted a Cobra but also wanted good gas Mileage. And it sure looked and sounded wrong to me also. Here is a picture of a Cobra with a V-12 that has over 800 cubic inches.
