[quote=FWB;1253573]c/o=oils cam then crank....just like all FE's
s/o=oils crank then cam
physically is was mainly to keep bearings alive during racing because of two reasons. 1 the large diameter of the Fe rod journal pushed
oil out under extreme load2 this was exasperated by the use of steel cranks..made that even worse. basically a bandaide for a design flaw in my opinion..
FWB:
I like your concise explanation, very simply and easy to understand for those who need a quick differentiation.
I have a SO in my Cobra when I bought it three years ago and I am very happy with it. It is indeed a lot of power for a 2800lb car with me inside and a full tank. The power weight ratio is out the window here.
If I had to build a Cobra now, after what I know, I would use a 351, but I would keep it cast iron though.
