So far, (touch wood) I haven't used one Ford part in my car.
It has a custom made chassis, Jag running gear and fibreglass replica shell.
Sorry but this is the type of thing that has assisted in destroying the image of the original Cobra. The vision of what a Cobra really was like has been so bastardized because of all of these "replicas" (I hesitate to say replica because many have been built with no attempt to replicate the original car) running around built with parts that were never on Cobras. If you want a Chevy motor buy a Corvette or a Chevelle. Here is a link for the forum you should join http://www.chevytalk.com/.
