Hemi in a '57 Shoe box car? Excellent! Ha Ha, way better than seeing yet another run of the mill Vette motor in there, that's been done way to many times already. I do enjoy seeing an perfectly period correct small block in a shoe box car, especially a rare Fuel Injection model.
Ford flat head in a '57 Chubby? Uh, no, that won't work. Rat Rod? Perfect! :) I saw an early 50's Chevy (I never did care much for that particular body style myself) with a small block Ford in it. OK, at first I was a little startled, but then I just had to chuckle, 'cause THATS something you don't see everyday. The intense metal flake gold paint job was ridiculous though... BIG flakes of gold in there. Some combinations are good or even great, other's, eh, not so much. |
Easy Steve. I got feelings you know. Now let me see where i put them. So what if i put Wildwood brakes or a Griffin radiator or MSD ign. or ect? That's not what was on the Shelby Cobras -- was it? What about 17" wheels with radial tires???? I say each to his own. I like them all! My favorite is the Polished alum KIRKHAM REPLICA w/ brushed stripes. The next time i get $115,000 sitting around burning a hole in my pocket -- I'M BUYING ONE!

It's to bad that Viper V-10 sounds so anemic, and apparently there is little or nothing you can do about it. It is what it is, never the less, it is pretty cool, in a Cobra. I saw an English replica Cobra with a Jaguar V-12, now that was pretty cool. Dressed up real nice too. Thats a nice fit, an English motor in an English inspired ride, a certain symetry there. :)

No, not a V12 Ferrari or a Cobra with FE, but still scare the you know what out of me. |
When I was at E-M I tried talking Brett into designing a Cobra with a GMC Typhoon all wheel drive system powered by a Buick GNX turbo V-6. He never took me seriously, but I thought that thing would scream. Talk about a Frankenstein!

I agree with excaliber,if you want bbc,(or sbc) power,buy yorself a corvette,or camaro,or something like that.(hey,i've owned 5 vettes in my lifetime),and each one of them had a chevy engine in it.my spf cobra replica has a ford engine in it,(and that's the way it should be)!!!!!

No reason for Chevy guys to install vastly superior and more powerful Ford engines when this is their idea of drag racing....

A small block Chevy 383 or 396 stroker would be awesome in a Cobra. Just have to keep the hood closed when out & about. Maybe custom welded rocker covers...who would know? I wouldn't hesitate if I wanted cheap power. 5k gets you maybe 650 HP in a sbc. double or triple that cost for a Ford engine, more for a FE. Sometimes it's just about economics.
