What lump is in the Cobra.
What lump is in the Cobra.
Not sure it's a Shelby Cobra as it's got AC badges on the front, but it's a narrow body, so I am guess it's a 289 or 302.Originally Posted by hilly10
Really hope it's not Rover 3500 or Short block Chevy.

I have the TR6 now but my Midget was a firm favourite 20 years ago bored out to 1380 cc fast road cam twin choke Weber it was the nuts
289, stroked to 302, built to FIA rules for racing. It's a 1964 Mk2 leafspring car, and yes it's an AC Cobra, not Shelby. Definitely no small block Chevy or Rover engines!
It is on quad Webers though, so sound like the apocalypse.
Very nice indeed. I am wondering whether I have seen this car at Andrew Mitchell's in the past couple of years. I know of 3 289's to have been through his workshop.
Epic car btw. Even if the suspension is a bit "agricultural"

An MX-5, obviously.
And a very modified (handling, weight, power, steering, gearbox, wheels, carbs (2"), racing side exhaust and pretty much everything else) 1958 Healey 100/6. Tomorrow I'm buying D-Type Dunlop wheels for it and it should have those and new tyres on by whenever the weather cheers up enough for me to go to collect them. And I'm changing the diff to give it better acceleration.
