Kirkham Motorsports<\/a> specializes in building Shelby Cobra replicas in Aluminum, Bronze, and Copper. They recently finished building a Cobra replica with an all-aluminum Shelby 427 FE V8 with two Paxton Novi 1200SL superchargers. There is no details on the power output but the engine is capable of 500-700 horsepower alone and each supercharger makes a maximum of 26 psi at 1,150 CFM which is good for 775 horsepower. So there is more than enough power for a 2,000 lb vehicle. Sit back and let your eyes feast on all the aluminum in these photos.<\/p>\n
