[G1947]

Well Devo, I want a Cobra, and the only way I can have one in NSW is to put an LS1 in it, so that is what I will use. No different to building a Hot Rod, really, lots of old Fords running around with Bow Tie's in them.

Oh, and as far as the LS1 being a "piston slapper", my daily driver is a VT Series II SS Commondoor, which we have had from new. It now has 285,000 k's on it, and has not had a spanner on the engine other than being serviced every 10,000k's. Has had one new diff and one transmission in that time, and is just about due for another tranny now.

My Cobra will be a daily driver, so I am going to duplicate the power train of the SS, with an LS1, 4 speed Auto, 3.08 diff, there is 100,000k's of trouble free motoring at about 11 litres per 100 kM.
