Your Cobra is way more interesting and unique than a Corvette. Congrats, post up some pics!

Let me try to post some info and a few pictures. I bought 1125 in 2009 in Germany Europe. It had been in an accident and was repaired by a company in Germany. I imported the car to The Netherlands. It looked okay, but later on I discovered a few areas that were not up to the SPF standard. I fixed all this. I also made a few extra changes, like new shocks, an EFI, catch tank, new brakepads, new rearlights etc. I hope this forum will fill the gap there is. It will only work if we start posting questions etc.    |

The engine is a 351W stroked to 427. Heads and intake are Edelbrock Victor jr. Internals are all roller where possible. No carb, but an Atomic EFI made by MSD. Ignition is a Crane Fireball. This engine was especially build for my car. Great for cruising, even at 1500 rpm and still very strong. Great fun. I also like the sound of a V8.
No sure if the stock pipes are the best choice for this big engine. I heard some people have very good results with other pipes, like Firefly. Any comments on that??

Jeff welcome I inserted the picture for you. Beautiful car, what engine? Also I'm from Michigan are you on the West Coast or East Coast? West for me. Buddyg Thanks - how did you insert the pic? We are in Harrison Twp (which is about 30 miles east of Detroit). The Coupe has a 351W punched to 427 with MassFlo EFI system. Nice running motor. Have the 6speed Tremec. Our roadster was a beast with 460/565 hp Ford Racing motor. Thanks again! Jeff |
