@Tim, Rickd, Patrickt and the ones I forgot here: yeah, it's going faster than expected...and Kirkham is great quality! The 2 for 77.5 and 82.5 are gone - there are some for 95k and "real" Shelbys for 105k: is the registration in the "Shelby book" worth the higher price?
Just to let you know: I have to ship it over and pay import taxes (around 12k total) and then another 15k to "adapt" the Cobra to our laws and go through the whole registration process...

I understand that Keith Craft is a very talented and "famous" engine guy. Are his aluminium blocks with around 600 HP reliable? Do they idle under 1000 RPM's? Any heat issues? Would you buy a used one? (you never know how the previous owner treated the engine!)

A lot of questions, I know - I appreciate your support!

Peter
