Well guys:
Seem that my BB vs, sb Became a "LOOK mine is better" contest between sb guys and BB guys ....lol
Someone had said somewhere about three pages ago... " It doesn't matter what you get somebody else will have something that is faster, tricker, shinner, newer, lighter, cheaper, etc. etc."
And He is right thank you for bring that up!
I feel I got alot of great feedback and am most thankful for everyones input. I would like to thank Terry, Keith, Carroll among others who have helped me make my mind up. Oh yeah the guy with the Little Pecker comment for those guys with BB's.lol that was funny
Also who ever corrected me on Z06 and Viper thing the weight to HP and torque compairo is sticking in my head Thanks.
However:
I feel that for my COBRA. I will be stuffing it with a 428 FE BB w/485 hp and 495 lbs of torque give or take a few.
It looks like Southern Automotive will be building it with all the goodies I can afford. ( IF ANY FEEL I MIGHT WANT TO LOOKING SOME OTHER BUILDER PLEASE SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE) no really I would love to see what else is out there for the money....
I hope to try and recrate the essence of why we all love these cars... I will do my best to build it with the most correct engine I can afford and the most power my 12k can buy with top loader (4 spd tranny) as a combo.
Some of you have been cool enough the chat on the phone with me and let me pick your brains...
Thanks A bunch.
Now if only I can get A/C in my BB car...lol
