[Shotimes] FFR

Yea, and from a performance perspective, the V6 SHO weighs the same as a 5.0

IMHO, unless you just want the "looks" factor, the V6 SHO engine doesn't
gain you anything performance/handling-wise for something like a Cobra (or
other vehicle). The V8 SHO engine "might" be lighter, but it would look
silly in a N-S configuration with that highly compromised intake setup.

That's what I will want to do, as of now.  I like the 5.0
engine...dependable and
capable of good power and economy with the right drivetrain and the right
technique.
 Heck....I might even use a carb instead of efi, to keep maintenance simple
(for
me!).  It will depend what things are like when I start on it.

I've been imagining having a Cobra since the mid 80s, though, so it will
definitely
(Eva factor considered) happen.

;-)

But it WON'T have an 8.8 inch rear axle.....that's for SURE!!
