Kit cars? Stunning.

Anywho, you may want to check your local machine shops. A good 400 block is getting tougher to find. Why not dabble in common sense and build a 383?

And Ole'Carroll will come to your house and piss on your shoes if you refer to it as a "Cobra" lol.

109 / turbo'd should move it along nicely.....

I agree:

Is there such thing as a good 400SBC??? I mean with the siamese cylinders and stuff, weren't they notorious for overheating?

I am really not one to know, I had one in my garage about 5 years ago that I dumped for a song......it went into a 2nd Gen F-body and that is what the guy had told me......with the small rad and tight engine compartment it was hard to keep cool.......

Hey.....kinda like JC..........

7OO HP in a 2300 lb cobra is a recipe for disaster,just make sure he has some sort of cage and competion seat belts as this car will definitly end up in the ditch
