What motor would you put in an FF Cobra?

[lightninmike]

it was orignal ford so it should stay that way
my mothers boyfriend has one (not a factory five but a rep)
and he has a 67 427 side oilerploped in there with duel quads
man what a badass car very good quality had it appreised at 85 grand

Just say your a master fabricator and money isnt an object. The only guideline is that it has to fit into the FF Cobras body. Name your combo, post pics if such a car exists :thumbsup:

Here is one to start off:

not really my choice of engines (aluminum LS1!!!) but at least you get an idea. I would slap a Viper V10 motor in one and try to squeeze turbos in there if I can :beer:

I would try to get the lightest engine possible that makes teh most amount of power. In a car that light, you don't need to make insane power because you won't be able to put it to the ground, and if you have a boulder of an engine hanging out front, it won't handle worth a sh!t either.

Don't have any particular engine in mind to fit that bill, though, probably something aluminum.

Then again I might want to go with something like a 427 sideoiler just to have something close to the original, with that grumbly, rock-crusher idle for when I'm sitting at stoplights and some li'l punk b!tch boy in a Hoonda rolls up next to me and shrinks down in his bright red racing seat to avoid making eye contact with me.

 

[GoatDaddy]

boom! I see 427 sideoiler is a popular choice. you people have class.

anything but an LS1/LT1

Then you'd probably want a built I6 with twins. I would imagine that would be the lightest setup.

As long as we are in fantasyland, how about a helicopter engine with a huge turbo and refrigerated intercooler, in a lotus eglise chassis.
