Also make sure that the engine wasn't stroked or bored as that may be part of your trouble with finding parts if you are looking at stock parts.

Ford did make some auto-craft Cobras in the 70s or 80s I think it was.

"Ford" never made "Cobras" aside from the Torino "Cobra" and the Mustang "Cobra" model. Autokraft made the AC MK IV in the 80's and 90's with help from Ford, but it was NOT a "Ford" nor made by them.

The chassis tag on this car may indicate it was made by Ford but what someone screws onto their car does not prove Ford made it. In short, they didn't.

The D2AE block casting was used on most all of the 351 W engines in 72.
