Reviving Dead Cobra

[PDUB]

whatever you do, I encourage you not to put that awful, ugly Mustang efi stuff on there! That is just not Cobra material...

A short term option could be a 4v intake and carb as a temporary fix until the proper efi setup can be delivered. That would get you driving this summer and give you another project for next winter. Sell the intake and carb when you're done. You have the added advantage that if the carb works for you, you are done! If not, change it out for an efi...

Yes, I'm in agreement the 90's Mustang style intakes don't look at home on a Cobra!

Here's the setup the guys from Prestige Motorsports are recommending. It's the Holley TerminatorX multi port EFI:





and maybe top it off with an oval Cobra air cleaner. If I added a turkey pan it would even cover up the EFI fuel rails.

I was at a dyno tuner today for a different car and the tuner highly recommended the Holley TerminatorX ECU and tuning software. Said in his experience it's one of the best available today.

In thinking about this further, if I go the multi port EFI route (versus Sniper or Stealth style) and I got the itch for a Weber style 8 stack later, then all that would need to be swapped out is the intake manifold and add Weber throttle bodies along with a new wiring pigtail for the imbedded injectors. The ECU, sensors, dist/ignition are all common/shared between the multi port and 8 stack systems.

Does anyone have experience with the Holley TerminatorX multi port EFI? Whether on a Cobra or other vehicle, I'd like to hear your experience, good or bad.

Good news! Now dispense with the serpentine belt and you are good to go!
