Webers are like FE's, in that I've NEVER heard of anyone opening the hood of a FE equipped Cobra and saying "What a beautiful car, if only it had a small block....).

Likewise, I've never heard of anyone opening the hood of a Weber equipped Cobra and saying "Wow, what a beautiful car, if only it had a Holley....)
To me, there is nothing more beautiful under the hood of a Cobra than a FE with Webers.
What he said. Regardless, that'll be one mean Hurricane and I'm looking forward to monitoring your build posts!

OK, The weber's definitely get the vote for cool. I understand the issues with big engines and weber's. But the last engine was not a torque monster. It was a high rev engine. It didn't respond well to the 45mm chokes on the low end. This engine should have ridiculous torque. Even with the bigger chokes, is it still a loosing battle?

Dean,

What about the Dynatek setup. Could that flow enough for your build? Did they ever get all the bugs worked out with that product?

Eric, Dynatek is a great option. I had good luck with their setup. I just had the Weber's on the shelf and a performer RPM intake on the engine. I was just trying to use up some of the stuff I had lying around.

Dean,
Glad it worked out for you. I was considering going with the Dynatek, but instead put 44IDF Webers on my 347. So I guess it's another vote for the Webers !!

Good luck!
