Aussie Mike

I love the idea!

I am planning an LS3 powered Cobra, and there is always someone that insists that a 'fake' Cobra must have the 'real' engine...

'Most people' would be fooled by some Cobra valve covers anyway, so I reckon you are onto something.

Are you going to market them??

Tony

Ps - anyone offended by the word 'fake' can swap the word for replica... -

Remindes of a story of Joey Pekham, an original NSW member, he had a Clevo in his with some 427 badges he made for the rocker covers. At a show one day some young guys were overheard saying "geez if a 427 fits in here, it will fit in my Cortina"

Remind me of another story Dave.

This young hood was looking at one of our Patrol Cars at a show one day and asked me what trans I was running. Reply "A PRD21". "Wow" he said, "I've heard about them. They are so cool." What a goose. "P" relates to "'Park', "R" relates to 'Reverse' and you can work the rest out.
