Hehehe Jase, the cobra afflicion affects ya bad hey?

One of the problems which confronts many of us in choice of engine has to do with what fits...By that I'm saying the engine in a cobra squeezes between the foot boxes.

Depending on the footboxes in the kit you buy, will also have a bearing on which motor/motors you can use.

My RMC for instance, is more often fitted with a 302 Winsor....However, the #8 spark plug requires you to be a contortionist to replace it. Many an RMC is running around with an "old" plug in #8 cylinder.

This is a major PITA when, in my case, I wanted to re-fit a 351, which is a little wider and higher. This meant cutting and glassing which in itself is a PITA. Not so much with the glass work but with the alloy panels etc. to hide the insulation.

The new Ford engines look delightful, but are very wide, and to a large extent is why many are fitting the narrower and lighter LS1's.
