Hey Flipper35,

being a Mopar man it seems per your id, you seem like a good candidate for a 426 hemi in a Cobra someday. I know its against the rules, but its something that would be neat to see - if you like big blocks that is. My FE is fast enough, but it would be a nice combo to try sometime. I've thought about it more than once.

I heard from a reliable source that Shelby approached Chevy and Chrysler/Dodge back in the day, before ending up with Ford on the Cobra. A Hemi in a Cobra would have been something too. I saw a pic that Gessford Machine was doing one a while back. There is a guy running round with a (get this) yellow Austin Healey Bug Eye sprite with a 426 Hemi and an automatic. In this BugEye, I saw the guy take off from a stoplight at Hot August Nights a year ago.., the engine was hardly idling, and it took off in a way I had never seen a car move before - like it was a cartoon or something.
