Thanks for any help ---pete

DONT DO IT!

Cobras need a V8. V12s always have poor resale value, and it'll eat loads of money. JMHO ofcourse

The only reason to buy a V12 Cob is to take out that monstrosity of an engine and replace it with a V8 pref yank, Ford or Chevy.
And if you can get the cob for less than 10K which is very possible then money wise its not too dramatic in changing engines money wise, unless you go silly with the V8 that is, to buying one with a V8 already fitted.
