Seriously, the ultimate cobra combo, LS7, Tko 600, 9inch and a big set of balls. Phil |

Are you using the GM oil tank and ECU? Did you get the maffless tune aswell? |
If you can keep a LS7 on the road or in a straight line, i take my hat off to you. Too much power and a short wheel base doesnt equate to a good car. Ask any race driver .
But it does make tyre companies VERY happy. And as for Ford 9 inch diff's as good as they are the housings do break very easily. |

Have you changed cams to take advantage of those nice heads?. I've been told they can get a bit breathless above 5000RPM because of the tiny cam but that came from a ford mechanic so dunno if it's true. :rolleyes::3DSMILE: |
Les,
Yes have fitted cam and hoping for around 420 RWHP and an engine with very different torque characteristics compared to the LS1. Phil:) |

Phil, I can hardly wait for your impressions. :) Cheers Les |
I second that one Les... not sure I've heard any feedback on this forum from an L76/98 Cobra owner.

I also have a cam change planned after rego but I'm real eager to hear about the torque characteristics. I'm a little different to most of the L76 owners cuz my diff is a 3.31 behind a TR600, 5 speed. I think most here are running the T56 and diffs lower ( higher numerically) than 3.5X. Cheers |
I have a L76 in a classic revival with a cam and a few other bits and may i tell you they pull like a freight train FOREVER !!

What rear gears you running? Cheers |
I am finishing a Cobra with aluminum backbone chassis, carbon fiber body, LS6 engine, T56 trans, Corvette Diff 3:42 gear converted to accept a driveshaft, and Corvette independent suspension. I am planning to put an LS7 in a second one but with a Daytona coupe body. The body is a fiberglass carbon fiber hybrid. It has a layer of glass to prevent print through and then a layer of carbon fiber for strength, stiffness, and to keep everything light. The finished car weighs 1900lbs. I'll let you know how it goes. I will be selling this car as a kit. Obviously a Ford engine can be used too.

Im using standard AU IRS falcon diff.
