Building from Cobra Restorers drawings

[Dominik]

I want to build a car with an original chassis, body from a Contemporary Classics (copy) and 460 engine.
the ground clearance of the original chassis is 4 3/4" to 5", the crank centerline for a FE is 13.5" to 14" above ground.

would the 460cui crank centerline be at the same height as the FE engine's?

what is the distance of the crank CL to floor from your cars?
how far are front and rear fenders above ground (as reference)?

front: 25.5" to 26"
rear: 26" to 26.5"?

let's see if I get notification of replies by mail...

cheers,

Dom,

Be careful. It's my understanding that Contemporary changed the wheel openings a bit to make lower-profile tires fill the hole better.

good point,

I shall compare the two body versions I have anyway.
I will use very authentic bodies for the first two cars.
not the Contemporary duplicates.
