I'm normally on the classic forums, but about to start a Facory Five Cobra, and have a few questions:

I have a 1988 GT 5.0 5 speed as my donor car. Runs great, typical rusty North East car.


I plan to convert to a carb set-up. What distributor can I use? I prefer stock appearing. Intake manifold? Something aluminum, dual plane or Torker-style. The innards will remain mostly stock, so will a 600 CFM carb work? Anything else needed I've overlooked?

I plan on having a "stripper Party" where in one day I'll have a bunch of friends over and gut the car. What is the entire EFI system worth?

Many Thanks!

I'd say the entire EFI system isnt worth much cause its speed density. Im considering dumping my EFI too when I do the motor. Most speed density guys go carb instead of converting to mass-air. Then I wont have to worry about cam duration. Im subscribing.
