Looking to buy my first Cobra 427 S/C in Oz

Ha ha ha ….. yes a bit melodramatic perhaps but do you need to be an authority to determine that a Chevy engine in a Cobra is rather.... untoward or odd !?!
None the less each to their own. You could, after all, call it a ‘tribute car’ that seems to encompass any and all abuses and bastardisations of the Cobra that tend to occur 

So, you have never driven, built or even owned one of these cars at this point.
Interesting!
You will either build a cracking car (good luck with registration) or fade away when it gets too hard to keep up with your own expectations.
Let’s see how that goes..

Workin on it. Still in the novice education stage going through the well worn path of dreaming, discovery, confusion, depression and then reality, followed finally by aceptance. I'm sort of between discovery and confusion at the moment with a hint of reality setting in.

I'm sure you veterans must just sigh when you read of yet another bloke like me taping into the forum full of high hopes and idea's and annoying the hell out of you all with a multitude of the 'usual questions'.

For what its worth I appreciate all your patience. I've connected with some great people and learnt a hell of a lot since joining this forum. You may well see me one day as a fellow car owner.

But for now I'll just keep annoying you as another novice on the forum

Well, when it all gets too hard I can give you advice on building your very own replica Robnell.

I do plan to visit Robnell, since it is in my neck of the woods, once this COVID stuff has run its course.

Some advice, maybe? ....if you're soon to be buying and registering a Cobra replica here in Australia, and possibly looking for advice in achieving that end, it's probably not a good idea to be annoying a significant number of that very group who can give you that valuable advice. Remember, probably more than half of the Cobra replicas here in Australia are Chev powered for reasons that may not be obvious to you.

Cheers,
Glen
