James from Long Island. I'm an ardent chevy guy, but have always loved the cobras. Thinking of doing a roadster. Looking for advice/opinions, gonna do basic kit, should I look for a fox body 302 or a later mod motor. As I said I'm more familiar with chevy motors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was all Chevy guy just like you. But the 302 is a great little pushrod engine. I like the hydraulic rollers, especially. I did a create short block and built up the rest. It was my first SBF and it was fun to learn how they work. There are so many variation of this engine, it's hard not to find one that would fit your needs from mild to wild!!! Check my engine blog if you are interested in a first timer with a SBF.

Good luck,

WEK.

You could also do an LS motor, it wouldn't be the first time someone has put a GM motor between the fenders. Coyote motor from Ford racing is also a cool direction as well. Let us know what you choose.

Old school carb 350. Still Chevy and no electronic gremlins (within reason). If I was ever to do a cobra, this is the way I would go.
