The con here is that I've tried to put similar packages together for Cobra guys and never got a nibble.... That may be a function of horsepower or it may be a function of foreseeable resale value.

Edelbrock's package is a "universal" package, meant for 390's, 428's, etc. I offer similar packages that would be more custom tailored to a 390 in a Cobra.

A 750 mechanical secondary carb would probably be just about perfect.
You have piqued my interest, sir.

Will give you a yell when I'm ready for motorvating.
