When I first joined this site I thought that getting a Cobra most like an original would be the thing to do. But after being around for a few years I changed my mind. Sure a cast iron block in an alloy CSX would be nice if the CSX has an original style suspension, but apparently alloy CSX cars now come standard with Kirkham billet suspensions, hmm. Now the thought of a Kirkham with billet aluminum parts being lighter than an original CSX has me thinking why wouldn't you want to have a nice light aluminum block FE to make the car that much more lighter? Building the lightest Kirkham possible sounds like a cool thing to do, even if it means that Brent will not be the person building the engine. |
