I'm with you Wayne SBF all the way. My son recently bought a ne Boss 302 which is a very well balanced car in all regards. It comes alive at 3000 and runs to almost 8000. In a Cobra I think a real well built 289/302 with a good cam, 400 + HP is really all that a person can really utilize, it results in a fairly well balanced car that can be driven consistantly. They don't get hot, rarely break, and cruse effortlessly at 3000+ RPM while returning reasonable gas mileage. Spins the tires when needed but doesn't break stuff. JMO

In a Cobra application the Modulars engines just lack soul..........
