I guess Tim of Genesis, may not be making aluminum blocks at this time ?
I thought a alum. side oiler was going to reside in my cobra, but a engine builder said their not as plentiful now so, he suggested his iron block. He also said I may be happier with the latter for several reasons. This is not a debate of iron vs alum. so, I'll get on with it.
What do you owners think of your Genesis iron blocks.
Any bad issues ?
What year is it ?
What CI ?
What bore & stroke ?
Type of cam ? (I'm thinking a mechanical roller)
Brand of lifters ? (If a roller)
ect.....
1st- I was set with a 482 CI. but, I can go up to a 527 CI.
What's your thoughts with the following ?
This will be a radical driver, not a dedicated track car.
Not abused but, smash the pedal and have fun.
Pump gas. (8 + mpg)
Don't mind lashing the valves, need being.
Performance, is of course the meaning of a Cobra, but sound is equally of importance.
2nd- Tell me about your Genesis. Don't be shy with the good & the ugly.
