A small block Chevy 383 or 396 stroker would be awesome in a Cobra. Just have to keep the hood closed when out & about. Maybe custom welded rocker covers...who would know? I wouldn't hesitate if I wanted cheap power. 5k gets you maybe 650 HP in a sbc. double or triple that cost for a Ford engine, more for a FE. Sometimes it's just about economics.
