I like to keep these threads going. For the guy's driving kits, replicas I have to say it again . You are not driving a real Cobra. It may feel and look like a Cobra but it is not! It does not matter if you use a Ford motor, Buggy leaf springs, match the number of rivet on the hood, go to an aluminum body and on and on and on. It is still not a real Cobra. It is a HotRod that is shaped like a Cobra, so if you are a Chevy guy or a Mopar guy why not go with those choices, as well if you are a Ford guy Go Ford. And if you you hear from the "Ford Only in a Cobra" crowd that you will ruin the resale value that is a load of BS!!! For that crowd yes a Chevy engine would devalue your car but for the HotRod guy, the Chevy guy, the I want the best performance for my dollar guy, I want the best performance period guy, for the I want to be able to get parts at my local parts store guy , for the it is not what you buy it is what you build guy. The Chevy in a Cobra replica is a BONUS.
