Firstly, someone please slap me to wake me up from those hipnotic, mesmerizing thingies. 
I'm not surprised people in the states are using the SOHC modular engines. I understand that alot of Mustang drag racers blow the SOHC rather than the DOHC due to the fact that the SOHC has variable valve timing.
I've just bought a BF Fairmont Ghia with the 5.4 SOHC with the ZF auto and the bottom end grunt is great. Same torque as a 260kw Boss, (500nm) but lower in the rev range and 230kw. Doesn't look as kool as a Boss but it drives as a traditional V8 should while being silky smooth to boot.
A SOHC 5.4 in a cobra would be an awesome combo and since it's a little bit narrower and shorter than a DOHC, it would be easier to fit. Fit a blower and look out!
