427 stroked LS3 with 8 throttle body injection.
Compound turbo, Duramax Diesel for my Paj' tow car. |
Nelson Race Engines 632 BBC twin turbo warrior series.
on 91 octane : 1500Hp and 1300 ft lb but on race gas 2700hp and 2100ft lb torque. About $55,000 us dollars per unit but at todays exchange rate .... not sure a Cobra would handle it but it sure as hell would be fun trying! |

car is progressing along tho... diff/rear suspension done, dash, seats, shifter, radiator mounted/ all external hardware sorted. Just engine mounts to do, throw in the motor/box, wire it up, driveshaft etc and then its time for the first drive. When things have selted back to some sort of normality i'll put up some pics. Major thing to do at the moment is build a new house and workshop or as my wife says a workshop with a house attached. (three car internal access garage with 12X7.2 external workshop plus car port) |
Gibbo, anything to justify a bigger garage! Take care and best of luck with the build(s).
|
Good luck with that Gibbo. We just had some friends from Christchurch and Dunedin with us here. Greg is an insurance assessor. Sounds like you were lucky to escape without even more damage.

:rolleyes: Well I thought about this a bit, & thought if I was using my Harrison chassis I'd want the rest of the car as Australian as possible so
Option 1; 4.5 lt Repco Brabham ( the old formula Libre engine made for sports car racing) with a Harrop g'box behind it. Option 2; this would have to be the trusty ol' Ford Cosworth 3 lt & a harrop box as well. Like to idea of option 1 though. A very long time ago I saw one of those engines in an FJ show car.......amazing :eek: Rog |

What about a rota mota? brap....brap....brap.......

For me its a Boss 331, just love the combination. Dart block, yates heads and cross ram injection with plenty of special carbon fibre bits. Am very lucky, hope to have it in by years end. Althought the stock market gobbled a bit of it up last week.

Many moons ago when I lived in Canberra and the Toyota Crown kit was around I also had a few spare chook cookers laying around. I went to the Dept of Motor transport and they siad that installing one would create no problems as the 'standard' horsepower was the same as a 2600 crown engine. I formulated a cunning plan to put a chook cooker in the crown I got for a song and then later get the crown chassis based cobra body. To this day I still have nightmares of my intentions and am greatful I didn't do it. Young. dumb and full of ?? empty wallet back then. |
Outwest34au, what the hell is a chook cooker? :o
Regards. |
Same as a 20 litre drum Mando.
Just some of the knick names used on Rotary motors. As that is what they look like. |

The Viper engine makes great power & torque for a light weight Cobra. The picture of the Viper engine is my car, the Double Vemon Classic Roadster. Ed Combs built it in 1997. I won the car @ the Spring Fling Cobra event in London OH now the London Cobra Show. |
Gorgeous car Chuck, and that's a lot of car for the price. It would go for close to $100K here in Oz. Wish it was as simple as sticking it on a boat and driving the wheels off it down under!
