5.4L into cobra

[stephen low]

Hey Gav it's ok to mention it, but remember to mention that GM did rejected him as well! Mind you it was only because they though they were on a winner with the Vet being the real deal - you can't always be right!!

Nassty, you didn't happen to go to Chisholm did you, I think I recall a "More beer party" or perhaps it was the "Save the llama" party I remember joining. Never mind I am sure it would certainly have made my uni days cheaper at the pub!!!

On to cars, these days it seems you have to do what you have to do, if you want to road register these beasties but the whole issue does beg the question why the f... we can't get our **** together and attempt like the hot rod fraternity to get some sensibility into our engineering approval system via the road authorities.

Seems our professional cobra builders/suppliers, though not liking the changes are just going with the flow. I reckon its time to show some brass one's and challenge the regulators. I have been on that side of the fence, and know first hand how bad the bureaucratic types can get if they are not lateral thinkers, and most aren't or at least can't bend the rules as much as they might want to!!

If however we develop an avenue for them to legitimately follow under their rules, we can achieve as many concessions as we can get approved. Just a though I suppose but until we really club together on the build issues the national and state authorities are just going to make it harder and harder.

Almost as hard as trying to decide whether to go the dark side in a Ford backed car!!

Food for thought, I hope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
