I think I'm just going to let AL427BF and Chas duke it out on their own. I will say that the amount of advancement in fiberglass tech given how these things are made and the application would not matter to me. If the body has held up this long and not fallen apart or become riddled with stress cracks, I'm pretty sure it will hold up.

cscobra, the aluminum would be really nice but probably not enough to sway me either way.

Grubby, I will go sit in both and find out if the extra room is needed for me I don't think it will be too much of a factor though.

After seeing the list of major improvements I think almost all of them would only matter to me if I was buying one directly from the factory.

Thanks for the input guys.

You mean you're ignoring grain orientation, kevlar and ISO Standards as the small block/materials genius has informed us all??
Glad to see that you have much more experience with Cobras and FE's than one of those that is attempting to educate you with 'authoritative' web knowledge but obviously, no ERA.
Your posts prove that you have clear understanding of the selection process and I know you'll choose and build a first-rate car. I did.
Just don't fall into that 'money pit' trap that I just found out I was a victim of-naive me...

Yes, but he's our jackass, and we still love him.
