Post Introduction

G'day All
Just discovered this site today, so have joined and would like to introduce myself.
I have a 1998 DRB Kit (bought when Denis Bedford still owned the business, it is chassis #198) which has been sitting in a corner of the shed for several years, due to lots of "life goes on" stuff. (Retrenchment, out of work for a while, divorce settlement, moving house, no shed, all the usual mid life stuff... )
So now things have settled down, got a job, a new shed, and a few bob, time to start on the Cobra again. But, things have changed. The Windsor 5.0L HO EFI Engine sitting on the floor is no longer OK I am told. Damn government changed the rules. The dealer I bought the kit from no longer plays with Cobras, the current owner of DRB didn't reply to an email asking for advice on what to use. Appears all you blokes with CR kits are using LS1's in them??
Is there anyone in Sydney, Southern Highlands, Illawarra or Canberra building a DRB, or who has registered one under the new ADR? If so, any help would be appreciated. What engines are allowed? What Engineer are you using?
The car is set up with LX Torana running gear, with engine mounts for the Windsor.
Sorry this is a bit of a book, will try to be briefer in future.
Thanks
Garry
