I may be wrong, but didn't Carrol Shelby go to Chevy first? Didn't Carrol want a chevy engine but GM turned him down?

After all - how many Corvette guys even contemplate putting a 351W into their cars?

The Corvette is a GM design manufactured by GM with a GM engine.
The Cobra is a Shelby design manufactured by Shelby with the second choice Ford engine.
I'm a "Chevy Man" that loves the Cobra, so I'm in a tough spot. Do I build my dream car the way I want? Or do I build it to please the hardcore Cobra lovers? Should I build it so it will have the highest resale value? Or should I build it were its easier and cheaper to work on?
I think the debate could also be over a new age ford engine vs an old period correct engine. If you're talking original specs I think a 5.0 Mustang engine is just as wrong as a Chevy engine.
Oh, I guess I will accept my stoning now.
