It's an Agu with k03s and remapped. It wheel spins in 1,2,3,4 so doesn't need anymore power, it's nappy filling fast anyhow, not that it's very sensible throwing a 30 year old builders truck round corners.

Yes, probably 150 hours of work in the engine bay. 70 of them was removing 1" thick ( in places) tigerseal type sealant that had been daubed on in the factory.

As cobras go, mines a tame one , Rover V8 , not sure on BHP . Just sounds incredible !!

Other pals have 6.3 / 5.7 chevys. Ford Cleveland etc etc , but a lot now go for the LS engines, they go in light aircraft ( honest ) if I had one I wouldnt last long lol

I stick with the old Rover because its one I can maintain.

Nice and clean looking vehicle you have there. Are you planning to put on some new truck parts or do some mods?
