So

If you had a choice of a finished Cobra to take into Australia what would it be.
Sperformance, BDR, ERA, FFR, Shell Valley, Lone star, Contempory, Classic etc 427 or FIA (not including Kirkham or CSX as they are dreams). Also then what engine 427 FE (not supported in Aussie) or 390 ( stroked etc), 351, 302, Coyote, LSX.
Interested in your views.
Dont worry about LH to RH or door intrusion emmissions etc.

So totally theoretical, yes?
OK an ERA 427, with 427FE or 428FE, and Toploader gearbox
or ERA 289FIA with a 289 or early 302, again with Toploader

Why? ERA makes arguably the most accurate 427 replica and 289FIA replica around.
In years of being a 'wannabe', I have never heard a bad thing about their cars or the way they conduct their business.
Did I sound like an ERA ad? Actually I don't think they advertise...
Cheers,
Glen
