well guys i see 2 Mc doo and Mc d00 very cleaver to use a zero
But it does cause confusion or was that the intention.
I love all things cobra aka Shelby unfortunatly we are not blessed with lots of bb cobras here in oz . I really love the sound of them . A forum is an expressive medium but you have to keep it on subject and not get personal you all know that .
I am greatfull for the HELPFULL infomation i have got from some of you and have enjoyed your expression session on the good and bad of FE engines . Every engine has its limits you have to respect that .It was a bad ass engine in its day and its still a bad ass engine today .
They were never meant to rev just make heaps of torque from CI if you want revs then its a small block . Modern engine design has allowed big blocks to be reved hard which has given the false perception that all of them will rev and thus we have failures which is then interpreted as a bad engine design.
I would love more than anything to have a big block cobra . but we are limited in what we can do and have so i have taken a different route which some of you will be dissused with i use an all alloy 242 ci lexus v8 turbo charged it makes bb torque and revs like a sb and with the right exhaust sounds very much like a bb.
Now don't start up again of why i am wrong it just what we have to do to keep up with $15 k + windsors .
A replacement engine cost me $750 and is as fresh as the day it rolled of the line. I have blown up a couple of them but i dont blame the engine i blame me for not tuning it right.
Thanks Again for you infomation and banter.
