Venom Cobra Build

[boxhead]

Hey Nathan, great to see some more build threads.

Looks like you need a broom, or has the guard eaten that too?

It may be an illusion, but how much space is between front chassis rails and mouth opening? Is there room for radiator?

Good to see the OHC Ford motor fits (even if tight) as I think it wont fit into a few chassis?

Dont be afraid to show more detailed pics and keep it updated We do love pics.

The boss comes in and vacuums We clean up every coupla months, but the guard dog brings all the toys, branches and bones in out of the rain...

Boss Ford engine is too large, but once you take in exhuasts it's only about 50-100mm wider overall. Boss Engine is 800mm, outside chassis rails are 1300, plus 70mm overhang into the curve of the body, leaves just enough to fit some feet.

Rad is a HZ turned sidewards, laid back with a thermo fan, or a least thats the plan when i ask desert rads to make me one up.

Hi Nathan,

My chassis is almost identical. Doug Pearce is worth talking to about radiators if you havent already. On my kit he said he has a mod to fit it vertically. Probably the same with yours.

Slanted radiators usually are a different design. I had one in an old 300zx and the radiator fins were different. That being said there are lots of people that put a standard radiator on an angle without any problems.

Since I'm getting custom from Desert I'll let them know that its slanted, plus i'd figure I'd run a 16" thermo fan, running off the standard Ford electronics and let the car handle it itself?
