Rick.
I didn't know there were any other legitemate options.
I am putting in a SideOiler.
Too bad they don't make those in aluminum.

Besides I have not heard anyone else using a Aires or a Dove motor in a Ford Cobra.
Wait ...sorry, I just heard that they ARE stamped Shelby... I guess that makes it Ok then..

I thought about it for a minute or so, but realized the weight was an issue.

With 42 gallons of fuel, a lightweight aluminum motor would upset the 50/50 weight distribution and I didn't want the front end, that light since I will be seriously racing this this on the track. I was also told, I have to keep an effective steering and couldn't figure out how to do it with almost no weight in the front.

I am trying for a properly balanced car. So alumium wouldn't work for me for extended duty and serious racing.

When I start hitting the show circuit, I will either get a Small Block or an aluminum one. Until then I have to use the Brand New NOS, never been in a car before Iron Sideoiler.

EVAN...Where are you???
