This is why you don't put a Chevy 350 in a Cobra...

Edelbrock intake and Holley TBI injection going thru a Muncie 4spd) when I sold it was taken apart but I still got a premium price and in fact it started a bidding WAR because of the engine and I sold it for a lot more than I was asking. So this "Don't put a Chevy in a Cobra is just a load of BS!!!

To recap:

1. Shelby never put a Chevy in a Cobra. (And that really should be the end of it.....)

2. So there's not any part of you, no part at all, that thinks that just perhaps.....just maybe.....that you got good money for your car, because it's a Contemporary AND because it had a rare block with expensive top end parts on it? There's not one brain cell in your head that's kinda leaning that way? Do you think that maybe the fact that they took it all apart after they bought it that gives you a clue into all of this? Hmmm? Just maybe?

3. As for AC putting a Chevy in an Ace, good for them. Now, if you wanted to do a replica of a 1955 AC Ace with a 215ci all-aluminum Chevy engine, then you'd probably have something.

Still has nothing to do with a Cobra. (See point #1)

BTW, for those of you getting your feathers all ruffled up at my posts, I'm just poking fun. I honestly don't care what you put in your cars and just like seeing all the Chevy guys get all flustered.
