Hello SunDude ! Glad I'm not alone here in Ottawa :-) The kit I bought doesn't have the best rep in the industry....It was the last car to come off the so called production line from Cobra International. It has a 390 FE bored .030 over...so I guess its around a 396 displacement. It was built in 2002 and the previous owner didn't drive it much, so it's not even broken in yet. The body had tons of issues and the owner spent an additional 5k just to get it right.

I've had a few issues already from gaskets failing to stabilizer bar design/issues. I'll get through it in the end but it has been a bit of a learning curve. I love the old school feel of the car....manual choke, rad fan, 4 speed top loader, smiths gauges. Very nice. I'll try to get a pick up here if I can. :-)

Again, nice to meet you :-)
