Sorry I have been away for awhile. I need to sign in more often. I guess I get enough computer time at the office. The engine I got is a Dart 427 ci short block with Edelbrock Victor Jr. heads. The engine is rated at 550 hsp if set up properly. They don't Dyno the engine after the put the top on it so we have to guess. I appreciate the advice on taking it easy and learning how the car handles with all that horsepower.

Jimbo,
I am new to all of this Cobra stuff. I just ordered a Backdraft Cobra 427. It looks like the same you color as yours. I am also a Financial Advisor for the past 18 years in Goshen IN. I saw that you are also aa FA. Are you happy with Backdraft? I hope I made the right decision....I ordered from Vintage Motorsports. I also am a Christian! Tim

Jimbo, re: your question about changing half shafts, obviously there are lots of other factors that go into snapping one. Track> how sticky is it, launch, horsepower. If you do find yourself snapping one off, send me a post and I'll try to help walk you through the change out. BD parts in Boynton Beach sent a replacement pretty quickly and my car was still under warranty so NO CHARGE was nice. Just my time and I had to push it away from the start line.
