[TassieCobra]

Hi All,

I am a new Club Cobra and this is my first post (so be gentle!).

I am currently doing some pre-purchase research and would value everyone's opinion. I am planning on building a cobra, ideally with an aluminium body/shell. I have included a photo that would represent my dream build (if I can get the photo upload working).

I realise this is not a new topic but can I get an opinion on which engine you would all recommend (I guess this is like asking how long is a piece of string and I am sure there will be many differing opinions). I am trying to decide between something like a Ford engine such as a 427 FE or go for something different like an LSA.

If I am honest the car will mainly be used for short trips and the occasional Ferrari embarrassing red light drag. I highly doubt it will do any track work so weight isn't a huge issue (eg big block vs small block).

Thanks in advance for your advice/thoughts.

Regards

Hugh
