For this debate to really quantify weight difference, need to hang both crate motors from a hydra set, the block is not the only discriminator here. |
Yes there out their. I know of 2 the are very good. The most common issue with IR manifolds is idle and partial power. The runners need to be balanced very close to each other. ( pulling the exact same vacuum, and all blades opening at the same time and traveling within the same Arc). If the runners are not balanced equally then a popping sounding will be heard, and or EFI computer will struggle to adjust the Air fuel ratio. Even the best computer will fail unless U follow my advise.
So what does all this mean? once the engine is in the CAR, take it to a good tuner and let him show u how to do it. It will require small adjustments every so often. It may take several hours (first time) repetitively adjusting each blade until all are balanced.:D MJJ a large no. of cobra owners wish they would have asked for more horsepower when they had their engines built. Why not build for more power and tune several different MAPs. 1 detuned map (large amount of timing and fuel pulled) and 1 more VISCERAL map.:eek: A windsor will make an easy 550 to 580 HP (how do i know?? see link) and be very streetable, and the stack will make it a joy to drive. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/smal...r-windsor.html MJJ feel free to send me a PM if i can help.

No, the block is not the only part that has a weight difference, but the rest can't amount to much. Certainly nothing significant. |
Yes, Yes, Yes, the Windsor is lighter that the FE... So what...?
I'm guessing a miata engine is lighter than the Windsor, but you don't see many entertaining that in a cobra. You've got to draw the line somewhere, and some draw it at the FE for an SC... Now if we were building a FIA or Slabside cobra, then we could talk Windsor... Else, this discussion is folly :p ...and the OP will chose whatever tickles his fancy anyway, and happily drive away into the sunset. |
