While normally I despise engine swaps involving dissimilar manufacturers, in this situation I think you would be justified in making the Cobra engine swap into the AMX. As you pointed out, you have a gutted car body enginewise with a perfectly good driveline sitting there waiting for a home. At least it's still an AMC on the road. I feel you're going to encounter quite a few modification issues making the Ford engine work in the AMC (plus the upgrades to add EFI, etc), but it should make for a screamer once it's done. Just make sure you do it "right", or you will likely be taken to task for haphazard work. A clean installation that looks and runs good can often be forgiven many things...such as being FoMoCo :-) Besides, a lot of people forget that the primary modifications involved in such an engine swap are concentrated around (replaceable!) crossmembers, and oftentimes a car can easily be converted back to an stock drivetrain with minimal effort. It's not like the firewall and shock towers will be hacked on and rearranged to accommodate a Viper V10 or some Hemi or Boss 429-style engine. *That* sort of swap would somewhat limit a return to stock :-) Good luck!
