What engine would you run if no rego hassles
Simple question, and please only for the Aussies (different world over here as opposed to USA)
Just imagine, emission regs dont exist, and your chassis is strong enough and approved for a 727 jet engine (so anything goes). What would you fit. The car you have is a 427SC model (most popular as far as kit suppliers go) Hmmm, I wanted to add a poll with available options, but just realised I have not done it before and dont know how too. :) Ok for me in that shaped car, it would have to be a 427 side oiler with 2 great big carbies, oval air cleaner with larger turkey pan. and side pipes. Would like 700ish HP (at the treads) and a butt load of torque. |
Bit nose heavy for my liking Dave. Is there an aluminium equivalent?

This assumes I don't have to pay for it of course, or I won lotto!
Alu Shelby block 527 SOHC Cammer... with the trumpets (TWM fast) & the EFI goodies!:cool: End of discussion! |

Big block Ford with as much ally as possible. Something that rocked the car.

Ls
I would still use the LS series engines with 8 throttle bodies.

I'm getting 1,000 klm out of my 2.0 litre diesel Golf for 50 litres. I don't know what it would sound like with side pipes but there would be plenty of room in the engine bay.
Great news today and time to pull out the good bottles of red. My engineeer has finally supplied a 17 page report on the calculations of the stress points on the Cobra and when I get off here, I have to email them to the RTA. Hopefully, I will then receive a new inspection date and have the car registered before the massive changes occur in NSW with the NSW RTA structure. Baz |
I'm going to go for a budget that mere mortals can afford so no 427 SO motor.
I reckon a Clevor would be the go. Dart or SVO 351 Windsor bottom end out to about 392 cubes with some alloy CHI 3V Cleveland heads on top and one of their 4 barrel manifolds. Cheers |
