my dad's motor!

Just thought I'd show you what my dad's been upto!

This is the result of me building a kit car in his workshop, he decided he had to have a go and go one better by building a Cobra. He has fully rebuilt the engine taken from a Chvy pick-up truck and it is now sat next to my half finished Indy. I have to say it makes my 2L Pinto look rather pathetic. The engin is now waiting for the part built chassis he bought to be stripped and rebuilt.

Cool
Looks like a brute.
Which cobra kit has he gone for?

I like the spacer behind the crank pulley, is it a pit tub wheel? . Only kidding, I bet you can't wait to see it fitted, or will he want your parking space then?.

The kit was a Southern Roadcraft, which is now Madgwick. He bought it part built with chassis, running gear and a fibreglass. And yes he is after my space now, which gives me a good excuse to spend more time on it
