This is a hobby. Hobbies are supposed to be fun. If "authenticity" is fun for you, go for it. If a Chebbie motor is fun for you, that works just fine. The Cobra world is a big place and there's lots of room for everyone.

Someone is going to get a nice Hurricane for $26K and enjoy the heck out of it.

Agreed and well said! Before I started reading this forum, I too was considering the Chevy motor route (as that is all I really knew mechanically). I eventually got talked out of it here ( ) and at a local SPF dealer, but it was good advice from a re-sale standpoint. When you're driving down the road, very few (and I mean .001 of 1%) of the people listening to you cruise by will know the difference whether it's a Chevy or a Ford, BB or SB, until you stop and pop the hood (bonnet).
