    Hey Rick,
    Last fall, I did some clutch work. I took the car out and really beat it up to make sure the clutch was going to work out well. When I got home, I noticed a mark on the left side pipe where the engine had torqued over, allowing the header to contact the body.

    Sure enough, the tab that's welded to the frame where the motor mount bolts up had broken. The weld failed. Not Shell Valley's fault. When I installed the engine, I had to cut that tab off and re-weld it. It was my weld that failed, not theirs. No way to get to it without pulling the motor, so I'm doing some cleanup under the hood and putting on new valve seals while the engine is out.

    I'm registered for LCS. That ought to get me going on re-assembly. See you there.

    Mike

    I think the TKO was the top pick for a Cobra. All things considered. That said The high rpm shift is slow. It takes a bit of time for the synchronizers to do their job, and you can feel the...

    The clutch is not disengaging or the pilot bearing is dragging. The synchronizer is unable to stop the input shaft from turning, therefore the clutch or pilot drag is stronger than the synchronizer....

    A few quick points. 1) 450 Hp can be made with a 289 and any Windsor, Cleveland, FE, or 385 series engine. 2) Flow through the heads is what makes the power. The better the heads the less cam...

    I never owned a 427W, but I do have a 5.0 stroked to 347. At the 400 - 450 Hp range no problems at all with it. I try to keep the RPM below 6500, but have hit the 7000 rpm rev limiter several...

    only Seems a bit too strong of a word. I understand and respect your passion for the Chevy, but this is questionable advise.

    I believe Lance may be closer to you in Arkansas. https://www.craftperformanceengines.com/ Then there is Brent Lykins in Kentucky - still closer than Florida. https://lykinsmotorsports.com/ ...
