No I didn't ever sell project cobratech! (4.6L DOHC 289 FIA replica project) I sold my mustang instead. The modifications were considerable and expensive to get the 4.6L DOHC into my 289 FIA. In fact, ERA will not do another one. Many little things come up that are unexpected. This is basically a transplant project and transplants are often much more complicated than anyone anticipates. I did get a fantastic performer with great reliability. A few pictures are at www.bloodenterprises.com/cobra and I will glady discuss this at length with anyone interested in such a project. There is a link to me on the web page. The big problem with transplants is that the better they are the more easy they look. But this is an expensive illusion.

In the end, I think a very expensive 302 would have been a better choice financially. But I have learned a lot and met some very good people building project Cobratech for sure so I cannot complain.
