I cannot speak for others, but the setup works well. No one would know the true CID without looking at the build sheets so why not?

Phil, I understand what you're saying about originality having left the building and then it's open-slather on displacement after that....but my thinking is that surely a Cobra is a sportscar, so why fit a massive (in CID terms), super-torquey engine that spins the tyres easily?
Cheers,
