Gee....Shelby puts a Ford V-8 in the Cobra and the Tiger, He's a hero!
Any of us try and ditch the troublesome lumps in our LBC's, and it's
considered butchery! Go figure.... If the cost of rebuilding my TR6
engine starts to look like it's going to be more than $2k, you may see a
roller cam, fuel injected 5.0 Ford under the bonnet. It fits, with room
to spare! And I'll bet it doesn't weigh much more than the 6 hole.
