Hi Guys,
They said it couldn't be done, but I have a never say die attitiude. The crossmember was a piece of cake. I am still working on headers, sidepipes and getting the trans to mate up. it may be a bit down on torque but I'm betting it will get outstanding gas milage.:D :D :D |
I always thought they were bigger than that.... :)

:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Smoke and mirrors, just smoke and mirrors:LOL:

Your subconscious has actually begun the conversion.........you are really a small block guy at heart "just trying to get out of the closet". The metamorphasis has begun.
It's a San Francisco "thing" Rick |
I like it! :)
Ed "DV" Combs...can't wait to see that one at the Fling! :) |
:LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Actually the engine is full size. The car's body and frame was stretched to a wheelbase of 60 feet.

The power to weight ratio on those Cammers has always been awesome. Just think if he could have done it with an aluminum block!
|
That car is HUGE! Makes the engine look tiny. I guess you don't have any problem with leg and foot room in the car. Is there seating for four? :)
|
You could have one too......... www.stuartlittleracing.com !!!!!!

Actually, there was an ERA Cobra with an aluminium-headed 427 SOHC at the latest Cobra Lunch in Ventura. So they DO exist! Sounde sweet, too!!! Seven-foot-plus of timing chain has a sound all its own!!
|
The engine is made out of an elephant foreskin. Just before the race, you rub on it and it expands to full size.
|
Maybe you should consider a "Twin Mill" version of that Cobra! Looks like enough room! If one is good, surely two would be gooder!
|
Must be tough finding parts for that.... :D
