Hall from Germany,
after a lot of reading Q/A in this cool forum, I think
It's time to post my first thread here in the newbie forum, also
because I have a question regarding my Olds 350cui engine but I will post
that in the Small Blocks sub-forum.
My story how I got in contact with Oldsmobile esp. Oldsmobile engine
is a bit different from other Oldsmobile owners:
I am rebuilding a Cobra Replica I owned some time ago ( really a tough thing
because I have no information about the original manufacturer of that kit.)
and that replica has a Oldsmobile engine sitting in it. Other parts like axles seem also GM related, but I am currently concentrating to get the engine up and running
So it seems I am one of the few that don't have a Ford or Chevy engine in a a Cobra .

Best
Derrick

Welcome. I believe this is a first. A welcome switch from all the people putting Chevy engines in Oldsmobiles. There are lots of people here that know a lot and are glad to help. It would be great to see some pictures of your car.

Best thing that could happen to your car, lol! We would like to see pics!

Derrick

So you want pics - be warned
This is work in progress

Nothing wrong with an Olds engine in a Cobra kit car; I have a good friend who stuffed a 360 Mopar engine in one. He caught a lot of crap from the Shelby guys till he pointed out that Carroll Shelby had a hand in the Shelby Chargers and the Viper, then they shut up.

That's the advantage of kits, you can put what you want in them. Though I admit to getting tired of people sticking GM crate Chevy 350s in everything.

Welcome to CO and good luck on your Cobra.

Welcome to our site. Wow! that is a tight fit, I can't imagine trying to fit a larger engine in there regardless of it's heritage.

Tight fit is the correct description
