I would guess that none of us getting into a new to us Cobra replica could tell during the first drive whether it has a Ford or Chevy motor so from the pure driving experience what motor it has doesn't matter a damn and just enjoy the car for what it is - a small, relatively light weight mean driving thrill machine where every drive is exciting.

Here in Cape Town the majority of the mainly Backdraft Cobras hired to tourists (about 30 to 40) are either Chevy or Lexus motored (I would guess for reliability reasons?????), and the majority (I would guess) of privately owned replicas are Chevy engined. Here the engine choice will make a negligible impact on resale with a possible bias to Chevy?? but in America I would go with Ford as it seems that they are more biased.
