Little update, I managed to finish the frame and I carried that bugger to the powder coat shop.











After I got that done I got an offer that I could not refuse. Complete rebuild of an '98 SVT engine (just labor) in exchange for brand new SOHC complete crate engine.

This sets me back on this build, but I will have a complete new drive train. Now the decision is easy to put a brand new transmission in there. The rear end is already overhauled with new parts...


Here some pictures of the engine, the main on the cyl.# 5 spun and even landed on top of each other...






...so stay tuned - soon I will be back on the Cobra.
