I think that if Ford was still racing the Cobra and selling them into the late 1960's/early 1970's that the Cobra would have "evolved" into the 429 S/C Cobra or 460 S/C Cobra. Chevy did the exact same thing when they switched to the 454 engine in the Corvette. The 454 was also mostly in trucks after the early 1970's, does that make the 454 a truck engine?

The hi-performance 429 engine's were in the Torino, Mustang, and Cougar's just to name a few, I would hardly call those "trucks".
