but that's part of the thrill of having a having a car like that!!!!!!!!

In the grand scheme of things when spending big bucks for a car like a Cobra, a couple of hundred extra dollars is nothing......

it all boils down to whats best for the engine combo and the way the car will be used...

The Kirkhams have been putting their car on a diet for a long while. With the aluminum rear end, Quicktime bellhousing, aluminum flywheel, and an all-aluminum FE, their cars are under 2,150 lbs.

I talked with several FE engine builders before I picked one, but not one of recommended a steel flywheel.
