Fred,

I haven't had my engine dynoed, but I plan to. So far, I've only run my engine enough to get the timing, idle, and fuel pressure set. I've got a long way to go on my build before I get my Cobra on the road. I expect to get around 450-500hp and 500 ft/lbs torque.

Before I found a local guy to build my engine, I was really leaning toward the Engine Factory. I gave them a call, and they sent me a video of their facility and production process - pretty impressive. The downside was they wanted an extra $1000 to put a roller cam in a 351W based motor. Also, they use Edelbrock heads and I really wanted AFRs.

I ended up finding a local military guy who builds engines in his garage to finance his Mustang drag car. It worked out well - I bought all the parts (so I got exactly what I wanted) and he worked with the machine shop and assembled the engine.
