Mr Barnwood

Hello my name is Joe Mangelos and although I have been a forum member for quite some time I just got my first Cobra in March 2020. I bought a Unique 427 with a 67 427 side oiler, Toploader four-speed and Jag rear end. I love driving the car but it is a handful if you get on it. I have a couple of questions that you more seasoned members might be able to help me with. My car has got the meatball stickers on the side and I’d like to replace one of them where are you guys buying those. My second question is the 4 speed toploader is a close ratio and the rear has 3.31 gears which makes it pretty high taking off in first year what do you guys think about going to a five speed? If so which 5 speed is strong enough, my 427 is dyno at 551 HP.
Thanks in advance
Joe

I have a close ratio toploader with 3.73 gears and first gear still seems too tall. I would love to trade for a wide ratio 4 speed. My Cobra has a 427 sideoiler and runs about 3000 rpm’s at 65 mph....

I’m with you, know your limitations and enjoy the car. I like doing donuts but I know it’s too dangerous most of the time, now catching a monster second gear is a blast to me.
