What Engine Package performs best for my Cobra Kit Car ?

Being that Everyone has there own driving style there could be a different answer each time. For extensive details we would suggest giving us a call to discus . Here are some general suggestions...


Driver who wants a tame vehicle while maintaining stock accessories so you can cruise around plus have a little extra punch to the throttle

Our 302 / 300 HP or the 302/ 350 Horsepower engine.

Driver wanting a more aggressive sounding idle and a broader power band, The selections would include:

  302 / 373 Horsepower engine , * 351w / 400 Horsepower engine or the

351w / 435 Horsepower Engine

* Good Value/ Bang for your Buck

Enthusiasts wanting to tear up some rubber and  to experience a more lumpier idle then The Stroker engines are suggested:

  347 / 415 HP   396w / 450 HP   408w / 485 HP   418w / 515 HP or 427w / 530 HP

The Windsor engine has a stronger foundation to work with when stroking out than the 302.

Our 390FE / 435 HP Engine can give your Cobra a more vintage look under the hood and is just about identical in appearance to the 427 and 428. These blocks are difficult to find and a premium price tag often comes along with them. The small block 302 or 351w engine may still be a better choice from a practicality, weight distribution and price standpoint.

The Big Block 460 /510 HP engine is occasionally used. This is a torque monster but a lot of extra weight makes it undesirable for many Kit applications. Can be used for racing applications
