I don't know if it is that much "cheaper" to build a SB Chevy than a SB Ford, but good parts are difinitely more plentiful. Manufacturers simply make more parts for Chevy's than they do for Fords (although they seem to be coming around lately and making some more Ford parts). I hear AFR is finally going to start building heads for BB Fords but not for awhile (1 to 2 yrs.). Chevy has always been more popular on the track / drags and they are easier to work on. Hate to say it, but they usually make more power too ( I may get in trouble for that one). But if we're talking about what to put into a Cobra, there's no question that you should drop a Ford in there. When I first started looking at getting a Cobra, I had my mind made up that I was going to put in the new Chevy ZL-1 all alum BB crate engine. Then I got slapped around a little bit, and came to my senses.
