I hope to make this as entertaining as possible. Best Ford engine?? Ford has some awesome engines!!And in a Cobra ...cool. But let's say you built a Fiero Based Ferrari or Lambo would most of you explode because it did not have a Ferrari engine??? Or that the transmision was not gated??? Or that it did not sing that fantastic note when flooring the go pedal??? But a lot of the purist like the Tremec or the magnum trans and suspension from a Ford Pinto, Jaguar,Ford mustang straight axle, or the best of the bunch a Corvette!! But as long as it has a Ford FE or 289 you think it has some birth right to be a real Cobra. Wow that was a rant!! If you have built a kit or replica it is not as Shelby and just have a great time building it and driving it and not get caught up with "is it a 289- 390- 427-428- clevland- windsor- 385-coyote-side oiler -top oiler-460- stroked small block-Chevy-426 Hemi(I had a ride in Artnz with 426 Hemi it was awesome)-Viper V10- or Buick nascar turbo V6or the endless possiblities... Just trying to make this the best thread in 7or 8 years
