Yeah, with the last Cobra I built with my brother we certainly thought that little Japanese Sewing machine engine(Lexus) + Hair Dryer combo would hurt it's resale value...but at the time it was the sensible choice for so many other reasons and certainly no regrets.

I'm a little partial to Ford engines myself. I've had 2 Cobras with Ford engines & 1 x GT40. Only 1 x Cobra with non-Ford engine.

Problem with Chev engines is the argument is getting stronger and stronger for them. Bang for buck I think the L76 + cam combo looks to be the winner at the moment.

And emissions means that both Ford 302w & Ford 4.6lt modular are dead to us QLDers after this year.
