By the look of the Cobra airbox it "may" be a 4.6ltr mustang engine

they look simular because the boss has exactly the same heads, but the boss has a long stroke, truck engine bottom end, where as the 4.6 bottom end is more square and free reving.

Looks very sweet. There is a place in Queensland building a boss powered AC cobra replica. Someone on this forum is having it built, can't remember who...
