Dragon Wheels Muscle Car Restorations

1996 AC MkIV Cobra, the very last aluminium bodied MkIV car built by Autokraft in 1996. This very detailed restoration project includes removal of the vehicles original aluminium skin and full chemical immersion cleaning of the bare chassis. Once totally clean the chassis was E-coated then powder-coated black, prior to the refitting of the aluminium skin. The drivetrain rebuild and upgrades include a Peter Knight/Dragon Wheels 331ci stroker motor which features a throttle body EFI system. The T5 manual transmission has been fitted with special high strength/high torque capacity wide ratio gear set, whilst the Salisbury LSD has a heavy duty 3.70:1 gear set installed. The specially developed EFI engine has been tested on Knight Racing Services engine dyno and yeilded the following figures; 380bhp @ 5200 rpm and 398 lbs/ft of torque @ 4500 rpm.
