At the end of the day no one will know, unless they have a spotlight to see the casting numbers or have a capability of counting up to 6

How can something be a replica, if its totally different to the original?

Mind you, BDR don't do too bad

Thats exactly it..! You are either building a Replica , or a driver car that closely resembles a Cobra .

Agreed....but if it pushes your buttons to use an engine/gearbox exactly the same as an early sixties 289 Cobra.....
