Snake, yes i'm running a 393cu.in stroked 351w. I race I.M.C.A. modifieds so the shop that builds the alcohol race engines for my race cars also built my Cobra engine. The builder is Bruce Yackey owner of Greely Automotive and Machine. The only stock piece on my motor is the block and it's been modified. I spent $12,000.00 on this engine, it has the very best of everything. I am running a Ford 9" rear with a locker, Richmond ring and pinion, custom Moser axles, with Ford SVO rear discs. I'm running a 3.89 rear gear ratio, but keep in mind when you want to chose a ratio take into acount how tall your rear tires are, tranny ratios, what you'll be using the car for ect. I am using a Tremec TKO. I also have a quiver of rear end pumpkins to choose from since I also run a Ford 9" in my modified. I must say the service at Midstates is simply superior. Bob and his group really care about you and your build. You made a wise choice in Midstates. hope this helps, Flatliner
