Go The Windsors
Its Our Mackay Rod And Custom Club Xmas Party Tomorrow, And We Have Hired The Palmyra Drag Strip For The Day, Which We Usually Do Each Year. Drag Racing All Day Then Party And Camp The Night. Theres A Lot Of Tough Cars In The Club Of All Persausions And The Usual Ford Vs Chevy Holden Banter All Year With The Chevy Guys Usually The Most Vocal About How Fast Their Cars Are,[ Ford S**t Etc ] But Theres The Old Saying When The Racing Starts The Bull**** Stops And Run Wot You Brung, If Last Years Any Indication, When The Tough Windsors Turned Up And Started Racing, Most Of The Chevy / Holdens Mysteriously Got Parked Up Finished For The Day With Various Excuses. At The End Of The Day It Was The Tough Fords Still Racing. Personally I Like Nothing More Than Smoking Hsvs. So Another Big Day Of Racing Saturday And We Will See What It Brings. Ill Bet Its Hook Line Windsor

Peace and love
Yes Bert has been getting all of my attention at the moment, trying to get him on the road soon.
The cobra tends to get me in a bit of trouble these days so I am quite happy to leave it tucked away in the shed. I though about selling it but I realised that i would not go thru with it. However an over the top offer would not be refused 
Yes Andrew my cobra will be heavier than yours, because I didn't attack mine with the grinder 
Ben, we should hit the drag strip now you are legal.
Phil

Tomcat,
How much would a 400 kW Windsor be worth to put together?
A stock 6L Ls Chev with a cam seems to be common in the Cobras these days, makes 300 kW + at the wheels.
Why is it that half the Ford hot rods have Chevs fitted?

Ben, In a pre GM life I was going to build a 393W stroker. It was going to cost me approx $15K to make about 400Kw. (536hp)
However, If I was able to register a 500hp Windsor engine today I would build a clevor using CHI heads.
see results here: http://www.chiheads.com/our_results.php
and look for the 515 Hp 470 Ft/lbs Pump Gas Terror about half way down the page.
