He meant it as a compliment. Mid 11s is very good for a Cobra. These cars don't hook up well.

i respect everyones opinion and choice about which engine they choose to fit under the bonnet, im a bit of a purist and think that a cobra shoud have a ford engine, especially a tough one, thats the way they came, but to each his own. tomcat

The gallery function on Club Cobra is really good. I use it a lot. I find it's best to shrink your pics down to 1024x768. That gives you plenty of options for posting pics since you will get 2 different size options in your gallery to post. Cheers |

We all respect your choice too but this whole Ford Vs Chev argument is getting a bit lame. I know at my first track outing at Shelbyfest there was more than half the field behind my tock LS1 but there were still plenty of Fords and a few chevs in front of me. It's probably no really fare to compare the HSV boys with yourself at the drags. Stick 600-700KG in your passengers seat and you would probably be on par for power to weight. Cheers |
Hopefully at next years Shelbyfest there will be a few less of both in front of me.

so you reckon my old school carby fed 351 windsor stroker is about as close to the original as your late model fuel injected computerised coil on leads with knock sensors etc etc etc . go figure tomcat

just f & c
no one has even mentioned the L word . or is it just an accepted fact that they are the best bang for buck going.
all alloy 4 cams 4 valves per cyl 6 bolt mains huge oil system and cheap. though i must admit to fully rebuild one is not any cheaper than a chev or ford . but that defeats the the whole idea of a cheap race engine. if it blows it goes and in goes a new one.:LOL: oz. |

A windsor was used in the CSX2xxx serias cars and they are leaf sprung with quite a different shape. That being said the 351 Windsor wasn't even developed till the Cobra had long finished production. I think they didn't come out till 1969 or so. It might share the same name as the 289 but the only thing that's probably interchangable between the two is the heads. Cheers |
Don't forget if Shelby's original plan had worked out we might all be on www.ClubScaligettiCorvette right now rather than Club Cobra.

Does anyone have an RMC build manual?
Tom - my cars not finished, and I think drag racing is for those that like to get things over and done with just a little too prematurely for my liking - but each to their own. |

Puss cat, yes it was a compliment.
Good to see that even though QLD may not have daylight saving they are up to date in other matters. Lighten up a tad mate. Andrew it is not premature, it is effective time management. |
