Will the engine, seats, radiator, fuel tank, etc. fit in their standard places? Will there be more legroom?

What is the target weight of this Cobra going to be?

And is this frame option going to cost a million dollars?
Yes, this will fit under a standard 427 S/C body.

The engine is 6 inches further back.

The seats are placed slightly wider and quite a bit further back.

Radiator position is roughly the same.

Fuel tank will be in roughly the same place.

From 10 feet the car will look "normal." When you lift the hood and trunk, you are in for a BIG surprise.

Target weight is just under 2000 pounds.

We do not have a price on this at this time. It was made as a one-off for the customer. After we are done we will sit back and look at what we have done and see if it is possible to put into production.
