Ron,
Why a small block for racing in a Cobra? Well it weighs 2300lbs is one good reason. Most open track fun racing is done in sb cars. My Cobra is a fake, replica , PSB so no need the run an engine that is 40 years old and costs an arm and a leg to maintain. And one of the best reasons is that a well built sb of 358 cubes can make 600 hp and run on pump gas and go a whole lot faster than the 40 year old motor. Do we need any more reasons to run a sb?
Thanks for asking.
