Would you buy a cobra with a Chevy 350?

Rodknock,

From your handle, it sounds like you are an experienced Ford guy... HAHAHA

Anyhow, not necessarliy faster, but rather a disproportionate percent in the 10s and below.

I can add Collin Mullaney's BBC powered Cobra in the 7s? I only know of a few sub 10 sec Cobras and at least two are chevy powered. I know there are many more Cobras in the 10s, and a bunch of those are FFRs, but...

Given the chevy powered crowd is probably like 1% or less of all Cobras (how many thousand FFRs and SPFs are out there?), the chevy powered percent that are in the 10s and below is very disproportionate from what I can see.

Your Kirkham is very high-dollar and appears to be well equipped in the engine category (you did mention budget as a primary discriminating factor). I'll bet you have well over twice the budget in your engine that I have in my BBC. What does yours turn in the quarter?

Actually, my nickname came from an L72 Chevy engine in my 1966 convertible big block Corvette.

I ultimately replaced it with a 540ci engine.

As for what I do in a quarter mile, I don't know yet and may never know. I'm lucky to get the car cover off and drive it around the neighborhood at this point. I suspect, if I tried really hard, I might break into the 14's.

As for Chevy's being faster than Fords, notwithstanding generalizations based upon a limited sample size and/or your experience, it's all about money. You pay to play.
