Wasn't quite sure where to put this. 5.0? 4.6? I digress.

This is a link to my website/blog about my current project. I am doing a complete swap of a 2003 Cobra into my 1988 coupe. I am pretty far into the project now (read: almost done), but it makes for a good read.

Wow man, you have quite an undertaking there. Very impressive what you have done so far. That's definately not a swap I would be willing to do right now, but the end result should be awesome

Wow. I've web-blogged a car project myself, and know how hard it is to be doing all the work and documenting it, too. Well done on both counts. That car will be of a very rare and special breed when it's done.

Very nice. So when do you start modding the cobra engine? LOL where is the KB S/C'er? That is a heck of a lot of work sir. WTG. I can't wait to see what it will do in the 1/4 mile. Oh BTW since you went with the IRS of the cobra do yourself a favor and pick up a spare half shaft. Most cobra guys i see at the track have a spare with them.
