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

In hindsight, I should have titled it "A Good Deal On A Starter Cobra" and this thread would have probably died after about three more posts after my initial post. Being new to this group, I didn't realize how easy it is to get a rise from some members, I'll try not to let it happen again in the future.

Whatever engine you want to put in your Cobra or like is your choice, as Sly Stone sang "Different Strokes For Different Folks" and who is in a position to be the supreme judge what is "best"? If it makes you happy, that's all that matters. Tastes change with time, I'm happy with my SBF in my 427 S/C for now, my tastes may change for my next one to a BBF.

Mike,

Don't worry. People bait each other all the time here, especially if they get bored. The bast majority of it is light hearted. There are some pretty thick skins here. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it, unless of course you were thinking of putting a prius engine in your cobra...
