Hello from England Hi All,
Jim here, just saying Hi while I trawl through the site.
Currently driving a Rover V8 powered Cobra (Gardner Douglas GD427) and looking to up the power with an engine/box swap (SBF/SBC/LS1/2/6). Sooooo much reading to do.
Cheers
Jim

Jim, that's a beautiful car, I've always wanted one of those. Welcome aboard, the LS1/6 (LSx) may be the perfect swap for that car. I'm sure you'll find plenty of help here and the collective knowledge on this site is amazing.

Very nice car, that will be an awesome car with an LSx in it!

I have a GD cobra with the LS6 engine on board. Blinding performance and better fuel economy than my old rover 4.5 v8. I have no regrets about the change, just looking to upgrade the heads / rockers / cam at the moment. I will not be happy til I end up in a ditch (again)
.
Does anyone have an opinion on the pro magnum rocker set (1.85) + ? comp cam ?
Cheers
