Got my engine stand today, so here's some pics so far. I'll add pics as it progresses.






more pics








Lunadi custum grind cam came in today, already got it in. In the box in this pic. I'm not disclosing specs yet. I want to see if I like it first. I got this nice little braket for the nitrous bottle too, but its going in the notch.

I rarley ever post anywhere else. I was thinking about 347 but I think my single 70 would run out of snuff in the top end. 331 should still get me where I need to go.

Where do you need to go? The Boss block is way better suited for a 331, the 347 is a little too much stroke for it. I'm thinking turbo 4cyl for my next project...

Well the stock fuel system is going to hold me up for a bit untill I can get something better. I'll shoot for 500's first and see if thats enough, then too 7-800 with an fuel system. I was looking into an Aeromotive system, but that'll be a few months. I've always wanted to have one of those turbo 4s but just got sucked into 5.0s and never looked back. If I could find one already done for the right price I might jump on it, but I have finish one car first before that.

Very cool. The house thing fell through so now I can start throwing money at the Cobra again. Hopefully I won't be too hard behind you soon.

I have my Whipple sent off last week to be rebuilt, and will be picking up a longblock soon.

Sry to hear that, but glad to see you kept the car. Longblock & a Whipple will mean I'll need twin 70s,....... your next upgrade should be some level 5 half-shalfs
