in my case it has to be auto as I have a mangled left leg that most clutches arnt friendly with the way my leg and ankle works or dosent work .
when I built my first cobra you would have been shot for putting anything but a for engine in altho there was a few 308 and chev powered as well as a turbo rb 30 around at the time in the end I decided on a 6 lt with a 6 speed auto im not after a race car just a nice sunday cruiser the bloke you pass on the footpath wont no or car whats under the bonnet when you go past there usually just in awe of what they look like .

Probably true, but i dont know about you, but i can tell whats under the bonnet by listening to the sound of the firing order.
