There’s a lot to be said for putting a small block in your Cobra, and the benefits it pays to handling and braking can’t be over-stated. This one uses a built 347 cubic inch stroker motor fully dressed in plenty of polished aluminum. You can build big power in these engines today, and having even more cubic inches isn’t always an advantage. Instead, combined with the 5-speed transmission, this one is a potent street machine that can cruise effortlessly. With aluminum heads and a big Holley carb atop an aluminum intake, it certainly snarls like a real Cobra and has been dressed with Ford Motorsport valve covers and an aluminum air filter up top that looks a lot like the original. Coil-overs, tubular A-arms, and rack-and-pinion steering handle the front end, while the 8.8-inch rear is supported by a trick setup that does a great job of keeping the rear tires planted. Four-wheel discs are important considering the car’s performance, and gray Halibrand-style alloys are just the right size, wearing fat Nitto radials that fill the wheel wells properly.
