I am going to replace it with a crate motor from Edelbrock. Does anybody have any experience with the Edelbrock crate motors?

Thanks,

Lou;

I'm guessing your like anyone else that just bought a new car or Cobra, you want to drive it and enjoy it and right now is the 'season" to be driving a Cobra...
Unless your engine it total junk and everything in it is not re-usable or re-buildable, I'd suggest find a competent mechanic/shop in your area and see what it would cost to "go thru" the engine and rebuild it to what it should have been.... the time frame could be just a few weeks and cost a lot less than a crate engine....as with any crate engine, you could end up with a bad one and have just as many problems as you have now.....

Just something to think about...
