Yeah, but you're not done with just a manifold change/chop.
Same as the Cammer thread, you'll need footbox work, possible firewall work, steering linkage change, custom headers (these are not off-the-shelf) and many other significant changes. I helped put a Cammer in an ERA so am familiar with the needed stuff.
Obviously, you want the wow factor of the Boss design. If so find a Falcon, Pinto or Galaxie to put it in-much easier and cheaper.
Keith, Barry or several others can easily build you a 750HP FE which is just a straight swap. (Assuming you upgrade all the gear behind it to live with 750.) If you're wanting the power level instead of the wow, that's the way to go.
If Bosses fit Cobras, I'd have Jon build a 494" version with Kinsler injection just like the original Can-Am cars. That would clear the hood at least. The Kinsler might cost as much as Jon's build.
Nice idea and I love it too but just not for Cobras...
