The Cobra is the most copied kit car on the planet. Some kits are good and some aren't worth a darn. A couple years ago there was a discussion on here about how much HP you could get out of a small block Chev. I think the consensus was that over 400 HP would require quite a bit of work. I think just about any decent V-8 would have good acceleration in a Cobra and have heard the small block Cobra's handle better. The original 427 Cobra(500 HP approx.) set the the 0 to 60 record for a production car that lasted for many years. It was finally beat by another Shelby car, the Dodge Viper. I think if remember, the Cobra could from 0 to 100 MPH and back to 0 in 10 seconds. It might have only been 0-60-0. They had one of the highest HP to weight ratings of any car ever built. Unless you were on a dragstrip with racing slicks and traction compound, a 500 HP Cobra would just burn the tires off in short order trying to see how fast it would accelerate. I bet half that HP would be more than enough. Dave

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
