WardL Ward the SFI bellhousing and clutch assembly should be used in all cobras. I am not trying to hit below the belt but have you seen a soldier come back from war?? He had no choice, you do. I have seen flywheels explode at the track we where sitting half way up in the bleechers and the guy 3 feet down from me was hit in the arm and had to go to the hospital. Piec e of metal went through the car fire wall and windshield to hit us. Distance was about 15' in hieght above the track and 40'+ from the track.
If nothing else, you plan on giving car rides and showing off a little. Would you want someone else hurt for a extra $300.00 dollars??? The odds of your flywheel or clutch coming apart are about 1-2%. No part is perfect but safety should not be a cost overrun ideam either. You have Fathers Day, Feb 14, Aniversary day, Birthday, and even Christmas but that's going to be a longer wait.
Buy a used one with a good SFI date code. No older than 5 year if possible. Good luck. Ps I have no luck and run 2 jeeps, 1 trans am, and the cobra all with lakewood bell housings. I like walking on my own legs.
