LS1 Powered Go Kart

[LS1 Cobra]

Hi All,

I finished the Cobra's home built headers and side pipes on the week end. Next I took the body do some work on the drivetrain, fuel system, cooling system, roll bar and engine loom. I love seeing the car like this as it reminds me that the car is just a big GoKart.

nice job on those headers! come out of the ports fairly straight so should flow well. less bends than a holden set for sure.

they look great, going to get the ceramic heat coated as well now.

not long now i spose to be able to start it up and hear how good they sound.

[borry]

looks great mate, very well made i might add, cant wait till its finished and u get out driving it.

[muzza]

Niiiiice!

What do you expect it to weigh when finshed and "wet"?

(gotta a lower diff in it as well?)

Perhaps it will be as quick(or quicker) than the original 489 AC?

[LS1 Cobra]

All up the on road weight should be close to 1000KG. The original 427 Cobra was a light car. They had an aluminium body and their chassis wasn't as solid as mine. The 427 was a light weight motor for an Iron Ford Big Block at the time as it used a fairly thin wall construction and was over square with a larger bore than the 428. My body and chassis will be heavier than the original but it'll handle better due to the stiffer chassis. The LS1 is much lighter than the 427 so it'll probably even out. The LS1 being lighter should assist with the handling though as it will give the car a more rearward weight bias. The 427 I believe made around 425HP and a heap of torque. The LS1 with a bit of tuning should be able to make as much if not more power than the original but maybe not the torque. All in all I'm confident that mine should hose the performance of the original 427 Cobra. :D

Diff ratio will be 3.73

The headers and pipes will be ceramic coated for looks and to keep the engine bay heat down. Having the engine set so far back means that most Cobras cook your legs in summer. When I built the headers I wanted to keep the radius on all the bends as gentle as possible to improve gasflow. I've seen a lot of headers where the gases have to do a sharp turn downwards out of the port and I think this can really hurt performance.

I cant wait to drive it myself. I've had a spin in a few of these cars now so I've got a taste of what I'm in for.:burnout:

Cheers

[muzza]

Should go like a rocket then.

Sorry my bad - 489 - didn't the cobra go that big at one stage?

I've always admired the Cobras since being a young un - there's something almost insane about stuffing big V8 power into a smallish two seat roadster.

But the pumped guards and the big side drains give the look some beef - there's no mistaking it for an MG or Austin Healey.

So with a modern V8 and better than original chassis/suspension you will have a good chance of staying on the road at a fair rate of knots - I believe more than few originals were wrapped around the scenery in the early days when the monster torque overpowered the roadholding ability.

Very nice job.

[LS1 Cobra]

No problem Muzza, you are probably getting your numbers confused between the early Cobras that ran the 289 small block motor and the later cars that ran the 427 big block. There are a few replicas like mine running round with some very big motors in them. A guy I know is building a 514 powered one at the moment.

As for wrapping them round the scenery they are a car that demands a fair bit of respect from it's drivers. The the Cobra nationals held last year at Wakefield raceway was more of a ballet than a race meeting with the number of cars pirouetting off the race track.

Cheers

[SSbaby]

Great piece of engineering work, Mike. :thumbsup:

Won't traction be an issue with those narrow (looking) tyres given how light the car is?

[LS1 Cobra]

Thanks SSbaby

Narrow looking tyres? The rears are 315/35/17 on 17x11" rims I can't fit much more rubber under the back. :confused:

http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/11409rear_wheel2.jpg

Traction is a problem in most Cobras regardless of tyre size. The combination of light weight and too much power. Also the IRS setups used in most of them are better set up for going round corners than launching in a straight line.

Cheers

Mike

[SSbaby]

Doh!

Wow! :eek: I didn't realise they were that wide (they looked like 265s to me :cool: ). Yes, traction will be an issue no matter what tyre you have on that car.

Cheers.

[seldo]

:D :burnout:
Yeah. You're not wrong! That should be a real rocket and I like the idea of the Falcon IRS - probably a better set-up than the Jag IRS I had in one. By the way - top marks on what seems like a first-class job that you are doing. It's a real credit to you. :bow: :burnout: :burnout: :driving:

Thanks Seldo, What breed of Cobra did you have? I'm a totally obsessed Cobra nut and am always keen to hear of other peoples Cobra experiences.

[clixanup]

That's gonna be one short tailshaft!

Will it be a one-piece or two-piece? :stick: :lol:

[seldo]

Mike, I had a DAX with an efi 302, Celica steel box and Jag f&r suspension. Unfortunately, I didn't get to build it from scratch, but picked it up 3 parts done and just finished it off. If I'd built from scratch I'd have done a lot of things differently. EG it had 10" x 15" chromed steel wire wheels which some people liked but i thought they weren't really suitable, and also the unsprung weight was HUGE, which of course stuffed up the handling and ride unless it was billiard table smooth. Also the clutch was sooo heavy due to mismatched components, and so on.. But still - it went like a shot dog and was a real buzz. One of the biggest things I disliked was that you stood out like a baboon's balls and every time you stopped were instantly surrounded by well-intentioned people asking the same stupid questions " How fast?" How much? "What is it?" "Want to swap for my FB?" etc It was also very hard to be inconspicuous as far as Plod went too.
I love your work though - looks senstional! :cheers:

[LS1 Cobra]

That's gonna be one short tailshaft!

Will it be a one-piece or two-piece? :stick: :lol:

It'll be a 1 piece shaft and hopefully it will stay that way ;) Having it break and smash the hell out of my hip isn't a a thought I like to dwell on. There's a tail shaft safety loop but still...

Afew things like that worry me, like what happens if I have a cluch explosion? Ah well, I've got a mate that makes artificial limbs and stuff for a living.

Hi Seldo,

There's a few DAX cars around Australia. One of the guys in the Queensland club sold his 460 powered one recently. I know what your'e saying about doing things differently. Some builders or kit manufacturers don't put enough thought into how things are done and you end up with an unfriendly machine. Picking up someone elses un completed project is a minefield too.

Did you know tha John Trojero is involved with DAX? He's the designer of the original ladder frame chassis under the original AC Ace that spawend the Cobra.

I've enjoyed building mine up from a bare body chassis kit as I know every nut and bolt on it. No kit is perfect and I've changed a few things on mine I wasn't happy with.

Cheers

Mike

At this stage it is definitely worth while getting a scatter shield made. If you use the right steel it doesn't need to be heavy and it certainly gives you a bit more peace of mind. It's not my field of expertise and I've forgotten what i used, so i can't tell you right grade to get, but the right stuff will only weigh about 3 kg and is quite thin section but is literally bullet-proof. It's worth an enquiry. One of the Defence force guys on the forum might know which stuff to use. :cheers: David
Edit: Also, depending on whether you do the whole trans tunnel it won't hurt your torsional rigidity either.

Hi Mike,
You have done a very nice job on the car. From an exhaust point of view, you have done an excellent job, better & neater than a lot of so called "Professional" Exhaust Shops.

Have you incorporated cats inside the sidepipes?

Will you be able to get rego with sidepipes?

In NSW the exhaust has to go under the car until it gets an engineers certificate and blue slip for rego. Then they take them off & put the sidepipes on.

One Cobra we did (302 windsor with 8 T/body setup) ended up with 4 cats and a special "home brewed" petrol to get the emissions low enough for the EPA to pass it for rego. Took 15 goes to get passed.

[amckiwi]

Looks good

If u need to take the gearbox out does it come out through the cabin like a Triumph Herald gearbox??

Looks like it is to tight to drop out the bottom?

Or is it engine and gearbox out at the same time?

Thanks Greg,

I plan to get it engineered with sidepipes but not as you see it here. The side pipes have high flo cats inside them and the outer skin of the muffler section slides of so you can service the baffles and cats. The join is almost invisible so the side pipe just looks like a big hot dog. I'm making up another set of outer skins that will incorporate full length heat shields and will duct the exhaust back under the car to some extra mufflers and pipes that will exit out the rear of the car. Once it's engineered it's just a matter of un bolting the rear mufflers and pipework, slipping off the outer skins and sliding these ones on. It means I only need to build one set of headers and collectors and swaping between the 2 systems will be about an hours work.

I've spoken with my engineer on this and running the exhaust down the outside is fine as long as people are protected from burns etc. Legally the exhaust isn't alowed to point at the foot path and must exit X mm past the rear most window opening. The exit towards the foot path is the only real stumbling block because technically the Cobra doesn't have any windows :D

Emissions shouldn't be a problem (fingers crossed) as I'll be running a factory stock motor with the stock ECU (for a little while at least).

Here's a pic of the merge style collectors I did and the flange where the cat locks into the collector. I hadn't welded the baffles on to the cat at this stage.

Hi Stu,

The T56 is a huge gearbox. It measures about 850mm from bellhousing to output shaft and weighs about 56KG. The chassis is designed with shorter toploaders and T5 gear boxes in mind as is the gearbox cross member. I had to make a new gearbox mount and cross member and set it further back. There's no room for a factory rubber mount so I made one using some nolathane suspension bushes.

Getting the transmission out when the body is on means pulling the engine and then pulling the trans. I may be able to get them both out together but it's a fairly small hood opening to squeeze the whole thing through and then you would have to tip the motor and box up pretty high.

I'm not keen on making the tunnel removable as this may impact the stiffness of the body/chassis. In the end it's probably the same work pulling the motor as it is pulling the interior out.

Thats looking ****ing awesome,nice exhuest work to.:)

You should put together a web site on how you built this thing,with lots of pics to.;)

[muzza]

Mike,

Yeah - got my no's mixed. :rolleyes:

What suspension have you got? Someone mentioned Falcon IRS - pre control blade?

I recall the earlier kit cars generally used Jag stuff and it was considered quite superior to the original Ace suspension.

Even so I bet they are still a handful with short wheelbase - like to swap ends quickly. Looks like you have the tyres under control - cant you get any bigger ones :stick:

Keep us updated.

Thanks Seldo, What breed of Cobra did you have? I'm a totally obsessed Cobra nut and am always keen to hear of other peoples Cobra experiences.

Nice job, Mike - looks great. My Cobra experiences are to do with an Almac that was started in 1994 and completed 9 years later. Big job. It belongs to a close mate of mine, and my involvement (am really a Chev man would only do it for my mate) was to build the 460 Ford EFI, (514 hp, 515 ft.pd torque) and adapt it to a T-56. This was a Borg Warner after market unit (pre Tremec take over) and had the shifter at the back hole. Still worked very well with a raked shifter ala 427SC original.
Driving? what a blast, you will have many "experiences" ranging from turning a whole street of parked car alarms on, to it stepping out at 200kph when passing tapped out ricers!
In NZ we don't have to run cat converters on limited build cars, so the zorst is easy and sound great.
Personally, after the experience of that first Cobra, I wouldn't mind building one with a BBC, prob a 502. My perverse thought is to disguise it as a 427 BBF.

[LS1 Cobra]

I grew up in NZ and my first Cobra sighting was an Almac car. I've even still got the NZ HotRod magazine from 1985 that featured Graham Berry and the Almac Cobra. My first sit in one was at Bay Park Raceway in Mt Maunganui at one of the drag meets there. It was a 460 powered British racing green beast and the guy was happy to answer all my questions and let me have a sit in it. That big block with sidepipes shook the ground, I was hooked.

The rear end in mine is the IRS from the Ford AU XR8. The chassis pivot points are different in geometry to the Falcon to better suit the Cobra. It's all nice and easily adjustble, Camber and toe are easy to set as are the adjustable coil overs and and sway bar. I wasn't keen on the Jag rear because it's hard to set up and tune. the Jag inboard brakes don't work too well either as you can't get enough air in to cool them in a Cobra. Changing pads is a chore too.

I'm a Chev fan as well and have a BB in the back of the shed I planned to use in the Cobra. But when I discovered all the emissions hoops you had to jump through I gave up on that idea and went the LS1. I envy your registration laws back in NZ.

My T56 is an old one as well and still wears the Borg Warner markings. The shifter normally comes out in the rear position on these boxes but I developed a mod to relocate the shifter forward to the inspection cover over the selector. I've done a few of them now and they shift superbly. Unbelievably precise and positive shift with a short throw. It's a fairly big job and the box has to be stripped but a bent forward shifter is like stiring custard in comparison.

Here's one I did for a mates blown intercooled LS1 Cobra

Nice job of the shifter. Is it a B&M Ripper?
Am I right that the Holden M6 T56 has the actual shifter mounted on a pivot in the rear position, but remoted to the front position?
WRT the rear shifter raked forward it works surprisingly well, my mate wanted it like that for the "original look".
BTW Would that BRG Almac have been Graham Berry's car? Or was it Alan MacDonalds?
Rearends, Berry is now using Ford Thunderbird IRS units, mainly because of adptibility to the 9" Ford diff, but also because Jag IRS getting harder to source.

[LS1 Cobra]

Not sure of the BRG Cobra guy's name now as it was back in about 88' The Graham Berry car in NZ HotRod is 429 powered and Blue with silver stripes.

The Thunderbird IRS is a popular one in the US Cobras too. It's a good design with lot's of donor parts around over there. Not so readily available here though but I believe Python here in Victoria are looking at going to Thunderbird rears.

Yep, the shifter started as a B&M ripper but it's made for another box and I machine them to suit. I've tried the lean forward shifter but didn't like it because the action is a pulling up and down rather than forward and back. I guess you get used to it but for me it makes shifting from 2nd to 3rd a pain because you don't have a lot of feel and it's easy to slip to 5th by mistake. It does look pretty cool in the original style though.

The original Commodore shift has a remote linkage from the shift point used in most other cars ie Camaro Firebird etc. This moves the shift back about 5" from the normal position and is responsible for the crappy feeling shift in the Commodore. Every extra linkage the shift goes through adds play and looses feel. Here's a pic of the Commodore box with the plastic cover off the shifter so you can see the crappy linkage set up.

[T_Kiwi]

any updates on this beast cobra?

[Hammer]

yes the linkage setup is crap as it subjectable to amounts of thrust loading. thus why they flog out so quick. and then get ther sloppy shifter feeling :) get a RIPPER :)

[LS1 Cobra]

Took the car for it's first track outing a couple of months back. I'd never driven it before apart from up and down the driveway. I managed 16th fastest out of a field of 40 cars (Cobras, Mustangs and GT40's).

It's scary fast in a straight line but I've still got some work to do to get the suspension and brakes working well.

The bodywork is nasty as all I've done is spray it with some matt balck paint to make it all one colour. It'll get a proper paint job next year. The car is more track focused than a cruiser. Ive alway liked the raw look of the original race cars so that's why I've used an aero screen.

This is an absolute weapon!
you don'e a 1/4 mile run in her?
Whats with the wire running from the wheel spoke to the centre cap / nut?

[OLDYELLA65]

The wheels appear to be a pin drive Halibrand type with a locking spinner ,the wire is the traditional method of securing the spinner..

[LS1 Cobra]

Oldyella is correct. They are a pin drive hub. There are drive pins in the hubs that engage into holes in the wheel center. These transmit power or braking forces to the wheel whilst the big central wheel nut just keeps the wheel snugged up against the hub. This is pretty much the same style of mounting used on F1 cars, V8 supercars etc with a big central retaining nut. Back in the 60's they used tri wing spinners as they didn't have rattle guns to get them on and off. They used a big lead hammer and beat on the wings of the spinner to loosen them and tighten them. They are a left hand thread on the drivers side and right hand thread on the passengers side and this stops them loosening themselves as the wheels accelerate.

The safety wire just gives you a quick visual indication if the spinner is coming loose. It's not really going to stop it coming undone if it wants too. The F1 cars and V8 Supercars have a snap ring system in the center of the hub that's faster to engage and provides more positive locking.

At the moment I'm running a set of hex nuts on the car for a different look.

http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/11409wheel_nut.JPG

Here's one of the rear hubs with the wheel removed. The original wheel studs act as the drive pins and hold the flange in place.

http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/Rear_Discs.jpg

I haven't had it on the 1/4 yet but I hope to later in the year when the weather improves. I'm not expecting blistering times I'd be very happy with a high 11. For some reason Cobras don't seem to 1/4 mile that great. They just seem to wheel spin as the chassis is probably more set up for going round corners.

[LS1 Cobra]

Hi All,

Just completed a few mods to the engine. I've got my TIG welded working really well on aluminium now so tackled a few projects I've been wanting to do for a while. I designed and fabricated a new breather catch can setup and it seems to be pretty effective. I'll post some details on it soon. I also fabricated a coolant overflow tank that will tie in with some more water pump mods I'll work on over the next few weeks.

The rocker covers are GMPP units I got in from the US. Standard they just have a PCV/breather grommet in the passengers side cover. I machined that out and welded in a nice billet cap and neck from speedflow. It looks much better and the whole top end is sealed up tight and all the crank case venting is done through the valley cover.

great toy ive just scored a lambo im doing same stuff to carnt wait to get it to your stage.

Looks great i cant imagine going that fast without a roof, let alone the lack of wind screen :eyes:

Have you done any mods to the internals or is it just the manifold??

Great read by the way.
Dave

[LS1 Cobra]

Internally it's only got a set of dual valve springs, titanium retainers and roller rockers. A bigger cam and some other stuff will go in over next winter.

Cheers

Michael

[LS1 Cobra]

Made a few more mods to the cooling system over the last few weeks. I deleted the header tank and machined up a filler neck and welded it into the top of the water pump. The whole setup is a lot neater and simpler. It also makes room for a power steering reservoir on the front cross member.

Nice work mate, must be fun to drive with so little weight.

Where did you get the rocker covers, I want some.

Did you relocate the coils yourself? Looks like a neat job rerouting and extending the harness to their new position.

I seriously want to know where these valve covers came from. Ebay has them for US$220 + postage. This might be the way I go if we can't get em in Oz.

[Hammer]

just cruious what sort of power is it putting out ?

[LS1 Cobra]

No idea how much power it's putting out. At the moment it's nothing special, just bolt ons with a set of dual springs Ti retainers and roller rockers. It's also running a mail order MAFless tune.

I've got a TSP Magic stick 4 cam to go in (in239 ex242 in.649" ex.609") and a set of ARP rod bolts a ported LS6 oil pump and a sump from an LS2 Corvette. I'll probably put on a set of CNC ported heads on as well but haven't decided yet. With all that on I'm expecting over 300KW at the wheels.

I got the rocker covers from Speed Inc in the US. Here's a link to their web page: Speed Inc (http://www.ls1speed.com/index.cfm) Speak to Fraser. They were about $360 all up delivered. They don't come with the fill cap setup I have.They just have provision for a PCV valve. I machined the cover and welded a fill neck in.

So you had to machine the oil fill nozzle yourself? These ones appear to have it already, not sure about whether they have breather fittings though.

The standard hole in the rocker cover is designed for one of those old rubber grommets that you used to use a push in breater with or a PCV valve on carburetored engines. The kit comes with two different sized grommets depending on what you want to use there. There's no venting or anything on the rocker covers like there is on the stock ones.

It's a comprehensive kit. Each rocker comes with a new rubber gasket and 4 new bolts with rubber grommets.
