The Boss 290 is a monster of a motor. Those DOHC heads make the whole thing about 900mm wide. They are pretty heavy too since they still run a cast iron block.
That said it would still be an awesome motor in a Cobra. Of all the Cobras out there the Classic Revival is probably one of the few it would fit in. Hving a wider spacing on it's rails and no bar work in the engine bay will give you a bit of room to move. I would say the foot boxes would definitely need modification to clear the heads as you have to with a 4.6 mustang motor.
Speak to Ian at Classic about it. If you can supply a motor and box I'm sure he can probably build the car to fit the motor.
Don't forget the Dark Side though. I saw another 2 chassis in Ians workshop last week with LS1 mounts on them.
Cheers
