Fortunetly it does not matter to a lot of us.Everytime I open the hood for most that are not Cobra owners the Wow! response is all that matters.In all the years I have owned this car only one person has ever critisized and he was an FE guru.My day of redemption came at a car show one year he pulled up beside our car and parked.Our hood was up his was not, a photographer asked if he would lift his hood,then spun around with camera on a tripod and took a dozen or more pictures of our car and the engine bay.Bottom line is these cars we are putting all different types of engines in are KIT CARS!!!! plain and simple.Truly amazes me why the FE crowd has to be so starch collared about it.Course we have the unknowing few that always ask "Is it a real one"As I said in the beggining It Does Not Matter! When I climb into the cockpit of my own handbuilt big block Cobra,there aint nobody on Gods green earth more happy or proud.Nobody can take that away including the small block,FE,guru's even Mr Shelby,and especially those that don't have a clue.
This is what the sport/hobby/passion/should be!!!!
