blykins, I agree with you about keeping the correct engine for the car, even if it's a kit '32 deuce, it "should" have a Ford motor. But the Cobra (not to open up a can of worms but I can still see the lid opening...) is not really a Ford. Sure since the early '60's their history is firmly intertwined. Since we're all Cobra freaks here we all know the history no need to repeat the England/Shelby thing. Would any one consider the Panzos a Ford or a Checker a Chevy?

On the same note, in the mid west it's in the mid-upper '60's and I had my '67 Ranch Wagon out. I'm restoring it but wont get to the paint until next spring so it's a little weathered. Some guy comes up to me in Menards lot and starts with the usual.."...my parents had one when I was a kid....". I mentioned I was restoring it and he said I should keep the paint as is and make a sleeper out of it "...and like put a 502 under the hood."
AHHHRRRRGGGGGG! Yes, I was thinking about running him over after that!
