Default LS1/LS6 in a 67 cobra?

My father has decided to get himself a Factory Five cobra replica and wants me to put it together for him. He doesnt know jack about cars and wants something for the sunday drives around the mountains when the 02 745i just wont cut it (must be nice huh, wish he would share with me).

I was wondering how hard it would be to set one of these cobras up to accept an LS1. Has anyone ever seen this done before? I love these cars but the ford powerplant has got to go . I figure just bolting in an LS1 to a 2000lb car would be just fine for the old man and would be easy for tuning purposes, since I already know alot about them.

If anyone has seen or heard of an LS1 swap into one of these cars could you please forward any info to me.

TIA

The Cobra is owned/built by my father.
It is still for sale, and the link still works.

He's asking ~$37k, but its kinda negotiable.

that is a nice build up! Just wish I had that kind of cash. I was hoping it was a FFR car. The B&B's are a bit more expensive

Yeah, w/ all the kits out there, you have to be real particular to pick something out of the norm. People wouldn't believe it, but every single fiberglass body is different for each company. My dad looked for (in his opinion) the best looking body and a nice frame. It was also an easy decision since he saw so many B&B's in person.
