They probably call it a bit of a dog, because it likes to pi$$ on a lot of things. |

Leaks oil too does it? I'll have to remember that next time someone parks one in my driveway.

So we presume that you park your AU 347 in the street for that same reason. |

I know this will piss some people off but make sure you pick a FORD engine! A Cobra with anything else is just not right! And to go a little further, it needs push rods too!  |

There's an argument to be made that the LS series engines are more closely related in design to old school fords, be it BBF or SBF engines. Bar of course the badge on the valve covers.
Just saying
Ps. Best not give mike any more ammunition.
Right now I have him up 3:0 on the score board. Ouch!

351W build
Don Pelling at PACE has just finished my 351W build and looks to be doing a great job from these pics I just received.
Looking forward to posting some audio.

Still not a Ford though. Got nothing against the engines but personally, if I walk up to a Cobra at a car show and it has anything but a Ford engine, I keep walking. |

You're missing out on the finer details of many of the best built Cobras in the country then...

I know exactly what you mean!
If I'm at a car show, and there's a 427cobra there, and it doesn't have a dog leg shifter with the reverse lock out "t", then I keep on walking too.
I mean the nerve of these hot rodders, to use something thats not quite original. Sheesh. |

No, it marks its spot in the garage next to the land rover which also marks its territory.
