LOL, I lived and worked in England for 6 years back in the early to mid 1990s and that was what turned me onto the whole kit car scene. While I was there, I visited every Cobra replica manufacturer there was and the 'standard' set-up was the all aluminum Rover V-8 based on the Olds V-8 that GM sold the rights to back in early 1960s or if one wanted to go "big" they stuffed a Chevy 350 in their Cobra! of course if they really wanted to have the 'bee's knees', they stuffed a Jag V-12 in their Cobra!...Hmm..Maybe we should all just put in Chevy LS engines and forget about it? It is a lot better designed engine and has the same firing order as the 351W, lighter, stronger, and can make practically 600hp out of the box with a cam change! WTF! over!??
LOL
