This has been some entertaining reading.We are still talking Replicars,who should really give a hoot about the correct engine as long as we are happy with just being in a Cobra.My 460 powered car is correct in everyway except for not having an FE.For me the choice was easy,the 385 was the best bang for the buck hands down.Heck when I first started thinking about building a Cobra I was considering a 427 BowTie! Who said that?

Interesting indeed. Back to the question of the original topic - 390 for correctness, 460 for everything else you want My F5R is correct in every way except for the color, body type, engine, gauges, transmission, wheels, tires, suspension, carpet, and oh yeah, the radiator. But you know what, I bet I have as much fun driving mine (13,000 miles in 3 years of ownership) as you do in your correct replica Plus, 460's are easy to find parts for.
