No myth! Bill Elliot sat in front of me a few years ago on a flight to Denver and I asked whether he had ever driven a BBB 460 variant car and his response was "I'm more of a small block guy". I told him I was considering putting the 460 in a Cobra replica and that is when he mentioned "he has one with a cup motor in it and he can't get out of 2nd gear because it's just too scary!" Direct from Bill Elliot! Have a great day. I've wondered when I was going to be able to use that encounter as an example.
On a similar note, one of our local Atlanta members, RedUnique, has a Winston motor in his built by none other than Ernie Elliott and having driven in the car can tell you there is plenty of torque for a little cobra. How about making traction a joke all the way through 3rd without trying! Best wishes!
