Hi Folks, We, my sons & I are new to the Forum and to building an AC Cobra. We have chosen a DRB Boss Cobra to have Jag Suspension, Boss 260/290 & 6spd Manual most likely from a donor car if we can find the right one. We plan do everything we can ourselves perhaps foolishly but with passion. We have lots of questions but have 3 to start and a general request so I'll split them up and look forward your suggestions.
2nd Question
As mentioned above we are planing to have a
Boss 260/290 Quad 5.4L from a donor car. It seems that a BFII with the right k's is a good target but find one at the right time for the right price is a key. I have seen in some posts that the FG seems to present some problems with ECU, wiring and immobalisers and the general impression is a BF represents less of a problem? Although it seems the FG version is a "better" our stragey is for a comfortable and reliable car and as easy a build as possible. I have been told there are people that can reprogram anything but no one can actually tell me who?
We have queries on Pickles and have been keeping an eye on Manheim/Fowles looking for a donor. We had a response from Fordpro Sydney from a Findapart query and Marin was pretty helpful and price not too out there for supplying the bits. (bonus being no disassembly & not having to depsose of the wreck). Any suggestions on which model to go for or where to source would be greatly appreciated.
