What are my engine choices

[Wazza]

Here we go again...it's just GOTTA be Ford huh ?,

but it's ok if the car has a commodore rear end,a Torana front end,a Toyota gear box, and the body is made out of fibreglass, and has bolt on wheels,and fake side pipes, and Mazda Mx5 seats......etc.etc.....but it's just GOTTA be Ford...or it just isn't like a REAL Cobra.......classic !

I recon it can be any nice v8 / v10...don't get the "gotta be Ford" thing...
(unless..of course,if you've decided on building an EXACT replica Cobra.)

I've had both ford and Chev...both great.

Cheers,
Warren

The real Cobra only had a Ford engine and gearbox too, the rest of the car was made up of all non-Ford parts. But, in saying that, I hated the fact my DRB used Holden Components, always pissed me off knowing what was underneath the bodywork. Not saying that it, or others for that matter were bad cars but it just wasn't what I wanted.
Obviously my post has a few noses out of joint and I never intended for that to happen, just wanted to voice my opinion. I'm sure all of you're cars are great cars, and Wazza, I have seen yours in the flesh and I think you've built an awesome car. But, as stated earlier, the GM engine puts ME off. That doesn't mean I think your car is no good and we all build what makes us happy. The FORD engine thing is just a personal gripe that I have. Believe me, when I see the all alloy, supercharged Chevs in some of the cars, I wish I could get over my little weirdness!

Anyway, off subject now. Good luck choosing an engine and I still hope you pick a FORD. (and not an automatic!!!!!!!!! Oops, did I just open another can of worms??? Just jokes guys!)
