Default BB v SB

ByronRACE,

Its quite good fun comparing BB and SB engines, and one can be quite a lot cheaper to get power out of for the street BBF, but thats about where it ends, and Mr Fixit eluded to weight on your front axle, it doesnt matter whether its a on behind the front axle really its still there, but I guess driveability isnt as important for street cars.

Cobras are originaly designed as a road car, and circuit race car and for all round performance and drive-ability the SB has it, and if you want to get carried away a bit build a Nascar type alloy engine, in a 2000Ib car, and not many BBF are going to see that off ........period!
Cobras were not really designed as drag cars, but I think Shelby did some for the US market, you need a black strip with plenty of turns in it, in my opinion but I am biased because I think Drag orientated cars are pigs to drive apart from a straight line, no offence intended to the drag boys!!
