Any updates on this wicked machine?

[CobraV8]

Unfortunate one really. Went to a mini nationals, won a motorkhana, and good placing in hillclimb then snapped the crank, lunching crank, rods, pistons, crack in gearbox, damaged pully, flywheel and ate the flywheel housing.

I have had gearbox fixed, head refreshed, but now waiting to buy another short block. It will live again, but probably as a 1380.

Great thread and lots of inspiration. Sorry to hear about the engine. How long till she's back on the road?

[CobraV8]

Back on the road already, just has a standard 1000 in it for now.

Back and running as a 1380 today finally!

Also installed front and rear sway bars, and a new steering rack which made it feel heaps better than the old flogged one.

Just need to re torque head and fiddle with odds and ends but back running as it should be.
