Small update on the cobra

Well since I have spent a small fortune on the '93 cobra in the past few months the project has changed a little for the time being.

Lee Hay and I have did a little more horse trading and I have my old 347 combo back which will be installed in the cobra for now. He has the 418 parts...

The 9.5 dart block is on hold at the moment until I can recover from the money shock and the club that my wife has been beating me over the head with these past few months.......

I have done a lot of work on the under side of the car that will not show well in pictures. Let's just say that when I am finally finished the body/frame will now take a lot more hp before anything gets tweaked.

Will post pictures of the engine mods and other info later as time permits.
Will also update the first page of the thread with relavent info.

So that's where the thing is!?!! When she's finished, I'm sure my wife would like to have it back, as I've been on a couple spending sprees lately too.

I swear, I thought this car was in good shape until Dale bought it.


Of course when he gets through with it, the car will be brand new

Preliminary 347 pictures

Here are a few pics of the 347 on the engine stand and TFS-R intake...
This should give the cobra a little more grunt until I can replenish money supply for the big motor.....the little 306 just will not cut it.....

Hey those pics look familiar!
LOL, Dale has his old 347 back and I have my old 418 back

I hope to have the white car running this weekend too, I am looking foreward to seeing how its going to run with a bone stock engine or at least a stock short block.
