Retro Windsor? Ford Fans don't dispair!

[Rebel1]

Blair, I really don't think Mike was referring to you in his comments.

Actually, this discussion was not which engine is best for cobras, but rather a philosophical discussion about how and why Ford are not enjoying a sales level comparable to their competitors.

Maybe Al's original post had to do with the release of a retro ford engine that may be of a physical size more suitable for a cobra. My post insinuated ford may not be around in 2010 owing to the closure of their engine plate and falling sales.

I'll throw it back out there......why are fords not selling well against let's say Holden their main rival. Is it engines?, is it price?, the car's appearance is top shelf so why aren't they selling more?.

I lost my virginity in a ford so have a fond spot in my heart.

Yeah, that's what this thread was originally about. Ford V8's and cobras.

The triton family of OHC V8s is not best suited for our cobras because of their size and weight. But in my BF it works a treat.

If Ford do release a OHV V8 then that would be a great alternative engine from which to choose.
