Nice Cobra. I thought I seen this car in a magazine feature
four or five years ago. I think it was Kit Car.

Just an FYI, The drive shaft on my Butler is 6 1/2" long from yoke center to yoke center. You're right pretty short.

Aurther,
Does your Butler have the engine set as far back
as this one. That engine is at least 6" further back.
The hood scoop is moved back too.

Mine is set back at least 8" or more. The stacks for #4 and #8 are partially under the cowl.

I think all Butlers were set back that far. I have another Butler here in McAllen that is for sale and it set back that far as well.

Yes, mine is set back that far. That is standard with the Butler. As mid-engine as you can get for a front engine car.
