what are the names scribed onto the valve cover on your cobra? are there any names that are commonly attributed to poorly assembled motors? the names on mine are Robert Natty and Bob McIntyre. The motor was built in the Romeo plant (i think all of them were).
dude, what does yours say?

Mine is Mike Smitty and Wayne W.

Mine also has the old sticker that they wrote their signature on in pen, not the stamped one...

I think you can call them and give them your VIN and they'll send you a new stamped plaque...Could be wrong though...It'd be good info to know since I have the pen written one too...

The original motor in my 96 I don't know who built it, the writing on the sticker faded off. The 99 cobra motor that I ran in it for a brief period was built by (i can't make it out) Dowfing??? and Larry H (i can't make it out). And I thought I had bad hand writing, if I was putting my name on a motor it would at least be legible. The engine that is going back in now is my original 96 block but this time the shortblock is built by Al Papitto.

Mike Smitty and Doug Campbell..two fine Americans in my book!

Isn't "handbuilt with pride" kind of a stupid statement though...do 2Vs get built by robots? No, just by more than 2 people on an assembly line.
