The 5 or so race special cobras, the pre-cobra cobra came out with a 351 clevo. All Bathurst Cobras came out with the 351. Out of the 400 CObras made it was 200 302s and 2

A lot of people think it's an XY as it has the shaker but it's actually an XW. AMC did a good write up on it a few issues back. There were a few big block XB GTs done as promo cars and maybe a big bloc
