Not Ranked
Hi
I have raced an FE406 Cobra and a BB Chev injected 650bhp kevlar Cobra, the Chev powered Cobra has so much grunt and reasonable handling but the IRS 9" with Richmond gears and the Jaguar Axles kept twisting and breaking to the point where I have sold the car and am building a lightweight small block car. Having said all this I go racing and small blocks are more driveable, you haven't got the weight to throw around, 50/50 is great but the weight is still there at the turns, under braking. This time round though racing is not important and having a nice road car is my dream, with a 351W stroker maybe 392!
All the best with your decision and I would have to say if I could afford it I would have an all alloy FE427 in my car - as that would be the ultimate!!
Cheers Ant
