Well I guess you could argue that any car is an investment. There are car dealers who make a living at buying and selling them. However, for most of us I do agree with Bill that it is going to be a negative investment.

I understand Bill's point, but do not know any history the two of you may have. That said I also disagree a little with him. It would, in my humble opinion, be stupid to put a 40K engine into a Streetbeast. I don't care how well you build it, I would never buy it from you and pay more than what the individual parts in the car was worth minus my labor to disassemble it.

Of course the amount of money you will loose, when you sell a Cobra, is proportional to the reputation of the manufacturer, as well as the thought put into the car as a package.

FFR is a good kit designed for small blocks. Yes, you can put an FE in them, but FFR, from my talking to them, will steer you toward a small block as will many others. It is also not designed to be true to the original cars. It's a fine car that fits the desires of many people, but not what I would put a cammer in.

If you can afford it go Kirkham - I think keith Craft can set you up with exactly what you want.
