I love the valve covers.
It seems like there are a lot of LS powered Cobras in Australia. I have one of the few in the USA. I'm lonely here  . My car has C5 Corvette suspension as well. Its a great driving car. |

Hi there. I make the adapter kits to mate FE valve covers to Windsor motors. If I can be of any assistance in helping you develop your adapters, please feel free to drop me a line at "superhart@aol.com". I'd be happy to help. For you guys running Windsor engines, kits are still available for immediate shipment. Cheers.

So you'll be installing bernie's spare fe and using that overweight superseded chev block of yours as an anchor. Great call!
Now you'll have both a "real" engine and a anchor, heavy enough to anchor the Queen Mary  |

Remindes of a story of Joey Pekham, an original NSW member, he had a Clevo in his with some 427 badges he made for the rocker covers. At a show one day some young guys were overheard saying "geez if a 427 fits in here, it will fit in my Cortina"

Remind me of another story Dave.
This young hood was looking at one of our Patrol Cars at a show one day and asked me what trans I was running. Reply "A PRD21". "Wow" he said, "I've heard about them. They are so cool." What a goose. "P" relates to "'Park', "R" relates to 'Reverse' and you can work the rest out.

Some interesting stuff there, thanks Jerry.
The FED is on hold till I finish off some other stuff. I'm still collecting parts as I find them. We still don't have a local drag strip anyway.
Cheers

Ok Mike
Aussie Mike manufacturing - we can do the impossible...
Make a Chev motor look like a Ford.
Big market.. guess there are hundreds of people out there who wouldn't like it known they have a Chev motor..

Wont work Tengu, you still have the crappy Ford motor.
Chev covers wont add horsepower (we all know you need Trust and G-Reedy stickers for that, just ask the rice boy brigade)

Ahhh Boxy, you're a classic. That said, my old iron SBF dinosaur makes enough power to keep me happy.
