Bill: this is my club cobra handle - I rarely come here only when someone sends me a link. Jesse is P13 as he runs the online show there. If you compare the cars at BJ - all the cars that went for 100 and change had used engines in them and whatever they could buy at Auto Zone to finish them. The car we did had a 568 HP all aluminum Shelby block , heads, intake, water pump and was blueprinted and Dyno tunes by one of the best engine shops in the country (not The Shelby Engine shop!) original Ford dual point, metal ceramic coated exhaust, both windshields, Lucas PL headlights, lowered to proper specs, radyot mirrors, new 5 speed, cast alloy Cobra covers. ported heads, roller cam and lifters, stroke to 468 if I recall. all parts in the engine were new parts, not rehashed 50 year old stuff. Car was tuned on a chassis dyno after the install was complete. We sweated the details and it showed on the block. 2 of the guys that bought the other cars have already contacted us about purchasing parts that we had used on this car. It was by far the best car there including the ones parked outside on display
