Yes indeed, without chevy powered ACE's hitting USA tracks in 1957, the cobra may not have been, those were the early cobra prototypes. The ford guys hate to hear this, it pops their little bubble that it was shelby's idea to put a V8 in a euro sports car. There's a reason CS went to GM first, 5 years later no less, but he couldn't have his own chevy powered ACE, so he settled for 2nd best with a ford. Getting the history straight can be a biatch!
