    King Cobra question for those in the know....

    Looks like an excellent project. I'd lose the extra striping on the c-pillar and around the gas cap too...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    I can't even imagine driving a King Cobra with a 2" drop in the front. Doesn't that mean you catch your airdam if you drive over a dime?? Even with the standard ride height, I take every driveway and approach at as much of an angle as I can, and as slow as possible. Yes, overcautious, but...

    Wheels-Tires Wheel/tire Combos Known To Fit

    You can't put up a post like that without pictures. I think it's against the law... I bought one of those WheelRite devices that allows you to measure different backspacing/diameters/heights of wheels and tires. Based on that I ordered 15x8 wheels all around, with 3.75" backspacing in the...

    Another II brought back from the grave...

    Looks great John. I can't quite make it out, what does it say on the side of the hood scoop?

    New Pics!

    CobraIIW, did you ever get your scoop on? I don't think I've posted any pictures here, I've been over on mustangii.net so much I kind of neglect stangnet.

    Cracks on trans tunnel

    First I've heard of it. Don't recall seeing anything like that when I had the dash out of my '77 years ago, but I wasn't exactly studying the firewall. I'll be pulling the dash out of my '78 in a few weeks, I'll be sure to check it out.

    Need help from an MCA member

    That helps a great deal, thank you very much!

    Need help from an MCA member

    I need to get some contact information from an ad in a recent issue of the Mustang Times. Anybody have a copy handy? I was approached at a show two weeks ago by a local gentleman looking to sell his '78 King Cobra project. I've got my hands full with my own (plus other projects), so I didn't...

    302 to 5.0 HO EFI Swap Advice Needed

    I question that, actually. I got curious about firing orders a couple years ago, and did a few hours of research (I love the internet). It turns out there are only two possible firing order configurations for a V8 engine. Every single V8 made anywhere in the world has either the same firing...

    Most difficult

    Gas tanks are now being reproduced for the Mustang II! Actually, if you aren't concerned with originality, a II isn't that bad to get back on the road. I just redid my '78 pretty much from the ground up. Some things are hard to find, but if you have all the basics, you've got a big head...

    Mustang II popularity

    That's not true. No manufacturer uses RWHP, only guys who've taken their car to a shop with a chassis dyno. What actually happened is that in 1972 the gubmint told the auto companies that they were not being realistic, because the SAE horsepower numbers were crank ratings for a motor with...

    Roundup 2010

    I was car #501, and I was there just after 9:00am! There were 225 cars in the MCA judged show, and I'm sure there were over 800 in People's Choice. Brian, I'm sorry I missed you! I missed most of the show, actually. Between a steady stream of people coming up and talking to me about my...

    Pair of Lacy rims and tires need a home

    That's a crying shame. I wish I were closer, I just can't justify shipping them all the way to Oregon.

    Historic II alive and well

    Place that can weld axle tubes in or around Portland?

    I don't know about the exact techniques used, but I know that Aldridge Motorsports does a lot of rearends. He's not the cheapest in town, but Denny has always treated me right and given me plenty of technical advice. Welcome to Aldridge Motorsports

    How hard is it to find the following

    Keep in mind the '76 Cobra didn't come with rear window louvers from the factory, just side louvers. The '78 (or '77 1/2, technically) with the wide single stripe was the only Mustang II with factory rear window louvers. Finding a set of those OEM ones is difficult and expensive. But, finding...

    Drag Racing at Pacific Raceways (Kent, WA)

    Yup, I'm off the crutches now, and driving my own vehicles again! Feels pretty good. I haven't had my Shelby to the drag strip yet, surprisingly enough. I used to take my '98 to PIR every 2-3 weeks, but having a baby around has altered my free time somewhat. :rolleyes:

    Drag Racing at Pacific Raceways (Kent, WA)

    NICE! :nice: Congratulations! I wouldn't have guessed it would make that much difference. On my n/a '98 Cobra, I got my best times when it was hot. But, I think that was more a matter of practice for the driver, not cooler air for the car...

    SCOA NW Reunion Mustang Show - Tacoma

    I'm aware of the SVTOA, I thought SCOA (Cobra version) was still around too? Maybe not. The show at Griot's falls on my Dad's birthday, so I can't make that one. Might do the one in August at Landmark Ford. I'll be at the Wrangler's show in Hillsboro on the 5th of June. I broke my leg...

    Does it seem strange to anyone else that SCOA stands for both SVT Cobra Owner's Association and Saleen Club of America? Just saying...
