From a dyed in the wool ford fella who has both 302W and 351W carby engines sitting in his shed.

Mr Shelby first approached Chev to use their motors but they knocked him back.

If we were allowed to use the 289 or 427 in original carby form then many of us would use them.

However....

Given that we can't the options are open.

Frankly, I don't believe the current 4.6 or boss cammer engines have any more right to be in a cobra replica then say the Chev or Lexus.

What have I decided to use....the 6Ltr chev.
