Newbie 1st post members advice req'd

Am determined to build my own cobra next year but need more guidance -having decided it has to have a V8 engine-just love that noise.

Originally thought I'd go for a Rover V8 as it is an all alloy engine & I thought that would help with weight distribution. Other people I talk to say the Chevy V8 gives more for your money.
So where does one go about getting a chevy engine -having it refurbished and then what sort of gearbox does that take?

Assuming that the engine & gearbox are overcome easily-whatabout the 'gearbox to propshaft to diff' setup?

Any advice would be much appreciated. Hoping to make the Exeter show having been to Stoneleigh & Donnington -all to try and bottom out which kit / maufacturer to go for - & still not made up my mind


Thank you
