Tom and Peter, of Speed Channel's Dream Car Garage took an
"up close and personal look"
of Superformance's 427 Cobra Roadster in 2004 and toured
their factory in South Africa. The
Dream Car Garage guys concluded, "Superformance Mark III is our Modern Dream
Car."
Woodsy fell in love with Superformance "replicars" for a couple of reasons.
#1726 is ready to finish to your specs. Your choice of new engine and
transmission,
or Woodsy can install a rebuilt original 428 2-4 bbl carb engine from a 1967
GT500.
Woodsy sent the rotating assembly to Brian, at Main Street Machine Racing Engines
to balance.
This photo below shows the factory flywheel, laid on top of the Mcleod
flywheel.
The weight marked on the factory wheel was transferred over to the Mcleod ring gear.
See the factory weight between the yellow crayon marks on the left.
This shows the position of the balance weight that Brian relocated,
and shows where it is in relationship to the factory weight that is cast
in to the fly wheel (note: it is almost dead center between the yellow
crayon marks).
This shows the relocated weight and the original position
where the weight was mounted from Mcleod (off by almost
90 degrees, marked with a black felt tip X.)
When he finishes up a couple of the current projects in the shop,
Woodsy will attach a Tremec HD 5 speed gearbox shifted through
an original style reverse bent shifter.
Come by to "kick the tires" when you are in the area Or,
schedule a
build time for Woodsy to install and test the engine of your choice.
