aluminum cobra

[oj]

You guys might enjoy this. I had to do some wrenching on it, carbs and stuff. Thats raw aluminum, no paint.

Thats thing is BAD.... sure hope it has at least a clear coat
to keep it from corroding/oxidizing

A gal looked it over and said to the owner 'you didn't say 'no' to nuthin, did you!'

I wondered the same thing... a common hat would have been easy

[squirrel]

does it matter if the airflow is not balanced?

It helps to balance the front and rear of the engine
and keeps one from going rich or lean

Does that SOHC really need any Paxtons?

"Need" is an interesting word to use in reference to anything about that car.

I'll bet the airflow is MORE balanced coming off the baby blowers than with just regular old filters on top of the two carbs. The blowers are running the same RPM and probably meter air accurately (I know centrifugal blowers are preferred in industrial apps).

That car is absolutely stunning by the way, I like that WAY better than the Copper one whose pics made their way around the internet last year.

probably not even a little bit... lol

I love Cobra's, but that looks like a lethal combination. It's probably making something like 800 hp, if not more. How could you possibly put that to the ground in a car with street tires and that short a wheelbase? You'd need a AA/FA background to keep it out of the ditches.

You say that like it's a bad thing
