Sounds like a great plan. I'm sure someone out there has done it.   |
Maybe I missed it after 14 pages of blather, but I thought the cast iron blocks were a fair amount easier to find. That being the case, if you have more than about $200 in the smoothing and powder coating, I'm thinking you might want to think twice about driving a Cobra at all.
Let's see...95% of the people can't tell an original from a replica. 99% couldn't tell you a FE engine from probably a 460. 99.5% couldn't point out a SO from a 428. How many of you race you car where the 150 lbs. will maybe make a difference?
