What are my engine choices

[Zacson]

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!

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...

Yeah, probably but it's just something I can't ignore. Not saying these cars are no good, just not for me.

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.
