That engine has to weigh more than the rest of the car. The radiatior in the back would help balance out the weight distrabution.
BTW: isn't that a Triumph?

Imagine seeing that thing zing by you with the air intake sticking out of the hood.

BTW: could you see over the intake?

Nah, the Cobra had a 427 and was smaller. The Cobra with the 289 would be slower.

Yeah you could see over the blower or should i say around it. We got a lot of looks from people some from the sight some from the sound. It was a badass car.
