| Re: A Cobra in Italy.. Definitely an FE, Paulo--but that spans a range from 332 CID to 428 CID--best to look for a casting number and/or serial number on the block--the heads look to be alloy aftermarket units.
The FE would "add", for some, "correctness", but from the standpoint of drivability, I'd personally rather have a stroked 351 W (can be made to 427CID easily)--those FE motors were quite heavy and that always affects drivability. Still, I predict this car will eventually sell for a pretty penny, simply b/c of the level of completion and the fact that someone will want bragging rights for having the "correct" motor in their car. It's a big issue with some Cobra fanatics.......
