| Re: Cobra running gear
I had a look at using a Mercedes V8 rather than the BMW engine I eventually used.
There are two main drawbacks:-
1. the Mercedes is a very wide engine, widest of the bunch ( although this may not be a problem if youir shell doesnt have innner wings and you can taper the footboxes to take account of the wide V configeration,)
2. they are also not very efficient in standard trim and thus the power to weight ration will be a bit dissapointing.
On the plus side however there are more and more entering the breakers yards as the cost of keeping the original cars on the road becomes prohibitively expensive.
Cheers,
Tony
