Jaydee --- Ask Mal Wood for a quote (by Email)-- tell him what you have and tell him what you want -- then you can shop around if you need to
* clutch pedal, cable or hydraulic ?
* flywheel 157 or 164 teeth ring gear ? --EFI motor 50oz imbalance ??
* starter type that you have ?
* clutch
* bell housing
* Gear box -recommend - T5 (Type 251) Ford mustang V8, 10 spline input and 28 spline out put, 5th is .63 great for cruising with a diff ratio of 3 - 3.5
* rear mount may change ?
* tail shaft slip yoke and length may change
* speedo drive mechanical or electronic?
* shifter stick and knob

In this regard Mal has everything you need
hope this helps and good luck

The T5 (251 V8) is an ideal gearbox for your Cobra up to 300 ftlb torque
-- more than that its the TKO 500 and TKO 600 =600ftlb torque etc(all 5 speed) after that its the T56 Magnum (6 speed) 700 ftlb torque---
---More ? go back to auto
The T5 is used in a lot of different cars --4 cylinder, 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder, GMs, Holdens, Jeeps etc and Fords
GMs have different input and output shafts (GM 10spline Input and GM27 output)
Ford is Ford 10 spline input and 28 spline output
The "AU" V8 T5 output shaft and extension housing incl shifter position is too long
contemplating using an XR6 T5 and swapping the bell for a V8 ? --the input shaft will be wrong length and some are 23 spline input

So! if you are outsourcing a T5 pls consider the above -- we can mix n match in a rebuild if necessary as we have the technology (ie.suddenly it won't be cheap gearbox anymore)

In a Cobra --first choice is a MUSTANG V8 T5 (pref Type 251)

Speedo is the easiest problem as I have a GPS speedo. I have to now wait till I move to my new house and finally get my shed together and put in my hoist.
I have been renovating the house we now live in in Swan Hill for 2 years without a shed. Man that is hard. Once I get my new shed I can sort out my car. I have all the pedal setup etc. And I don't want cable. Thanks again guys for the advice.
