Rick,

Thanks for your input. In truth, I can't say I necessarily "wanted" to put THIS engine in a Cobra, I have always wanted to build a Cobra and since I had the motor, I thought I'd see if it was a good fit or not.

Based upon what everyone said, as well as your comments about weight, it would seem best if I did not use it in a Cobra. I hadn't considered your idea about using it for a down payment, but I thought that was insightful. Do you know where I'd start looking to do something like that? It is truly a magnificent engine, never used since the rebuild, and was rebuilt by a very well-known boat engine company in Miami, but I don't know where to look for someone who'd consider that sort of negociation.

Thanks - Dashh
