Look forward to catching up at the breakfast.

I'll be in the blue/white RMC with the BRIGHT yellow shirt.

I'll be in the white Honda Odyssey with the noisy kids. Poor substitute really

Cheers

Hey Craig & Geoff

Hope to get up there on Sunday.......

Geoff, I spoke to Dru after Warwick told me the engine that was slated for your car is for sale, I might check it out next week.......I'm curious as to why you're going with a GM donk?

I should start a new link on Ford v's GM v's Lexus

Probably only make the decision harder!

Choose Ford if you want to have a Ford. You can do a very cheap & simple Mustang/T5(or Aussie windsor) install.

Choose GM if you want better bang for buck.

Choose Lexus if you want the best bang for buck.

We have Ozvenom(Scott) here in Brisbane that is the master when it comes to Lexus. He has fitted quite a few to Harrison Cobra's, including the one my brother races. That certainly makes the Lexus fitment a lot more tempting. I can certainly recommend one of his bolt-in Lexus engine kits with all the changes to bolt the engine in, including modified wiring loom etc.

Also keep in mind it's very simple on the Lexus to get single/twin turbo upgrades approved here in QLD after rego. Which is what we did thanks to Ozvenom. Now that's the path to serious mumbo. The other engines start to have too many cubes for forced induction approval.

This is only my take on things.

There is no right or wrong decision, it all comes down to personal preference.

At the risk of inciting a riot I reckon the GM engine to be a better engineered product. I agree that a Ford engine would be preferable, based on sentiment, in a Cobra but a Gen IV beats any current Ford option on price, engineering and ease of fitment. Whether a Gen IV has the same 'soul' could be debated.

I would never criticize anyones choice but this is my preference.

Also I think that time runs out at the end of the year for a 302 and I can't guarantee that I can meet that deadline.

My 2 cents worth

Cheers
