The latest project at my local bmw indy

Though you'd like to see it

That will be fun! I haven't had a cobra replica yet but it's on the bucket list. That one will be very unique.

Wholly friggin hold on!

Looks like a backdraft car. Why on earth would you want a s65 in it? A nice 351 roush (that they come with) will make more power and be cheaper.

I don't know but it looked cool, it also has a dct and the complete e9x suspension so I don't know if that makes a difference on what you're saying

Build a side car for all the other stuff that you still have to put in there!!!! That engine is quite big for that chasis, isn't it? How did you get it in there? Selling my M3.....

I have a 67' Cobra (Kirkham kit) and could easily build another aluminum 427 for the cost of that S65 alone... Why anybody would stuff a S65 drivetrain & suspension in there is beyond me... Weird, no?

I don't know how they got it in there, my m3 is in for dct leakage and I just saw it and snapped a couple of pictures... Though it was pretty badass.

because its unique.

A few years ago I thought about building a Factory Five with an S85. Why not...the engines are relatively inexpensive on eBay, less than a new coyote anyway. The problem becomes the $10-$12k in electronics to make it run without all the BMW factory computers.

Agreed Josefinoe, it is Bad Ass! Anyone can put a big block in a Cobra, there are parts galore for the swap. Putting an S65 engine along with the E9X suspension in it takes some balls and ingenuity!

If I owned that car, I would have wrapped it around a tree by dinner time.

hayes180 · 06-24-2015, 11:26 PM

good luck, haven't seen anything like that before!

Evolve Automotive · 06-25-2015, 09:50 AM

whoa badass

w0ady · 06-26-2015, 08:19 PM
