Juanone,
Thanks for the kind comments! I only sold the car because I wanted to build another. It was one of the best expereinces of my life.
I actually have had an ERA on order for the past 5 months but still no word of when it will be produced.. I have already warned Peter at ERA about the project.
Keith,
Thanks! but it is not a done deal yet... I am keeping fingers crossed.
Dave,
The engine on the stand has the Shelby block but the other two he is selling do not. They have standard SO blocks. Of course, I don't know if I can afford the Shelby block and injection system.. so I will need to make a choice. There is not much modifaction needed for the Shelby block to accept the heads. You only need to drill the oildrain holes at the back of the block (from the head)
Fred,
Horsepower, anything over 200hp will be fine . Plus, Jeannie's new Cobra will have the new 448 CI small block from Kinsler (about 760hp).
I can never keep up with her.
David,
Slabside...hmmmm. I wonder if ERA will change my order to a 289 body???
