"260/289" chassis 3" tube rails
"427" chassis 4" round tube rails, & I think I read somwhere 4" more distance between rails, and chassis and suspension designed by Ford engineers on Fords first computer.
All done to accommodate the FE big block.
The "small" Cobra chassis may have been antiquated, but it still won more than it's share of races!!
