Default Engines.

At the moment it seems like all I do is eat, sleep, and think about what I want to do with my Cobra. I'm kind of getting a rough idea of what chassis/body I want to purchase - Classic Revival - so I've turned my attention towards moving that chassis and body.

I don't think I've seen anyone mention the barra 240T around here. Any reason for that? Don't like Turbos? Don't like 6 cylinders? In any event, the 240T isn't the most powerful of engines, although it does have a decent amount of pulling power.

Surprisingly enough the boss 260 has around the same power and torque as the barra. In fact the ford engines only get interesting once you head over to FPV. Now the boss 290 looks more like an engine I wouldn't mind having underneath me ... err, in front of me. Even the 6's don't look too bad from FPV - heaps of torque, more than the boss 290, and almost as much power. And you can't forget what DJR have done with the boss engine - 320kw and 540nm of torque.

Of course you can't forget the Holdens. And what I wouldn't do to get my hands on a 6.0L LS2 putting out a whooping 335kw and 605nm. I know its only in a concept at the moment, but sooner or later such output will make it to the production engines. And by the time I have my Cobra in a condition to fit an engine, who knows what sort of outputs we'll be looking at!

So can anyone elaborate on the engine choices available, it'd be much appreciated.
