Best Cobra engine?

[FUNFER2]

I'm building a 527 Genesis, so I don't need another. Your parts list are the cream of the crop and impressive numbers. I'm curious about the price ?
Oops, I see it's $8,495 after looking on your website. Nice motor & great price.

$8495.00 is the price.

Looks like we posted a few seconds apart.

Have you tested this motor with various other intake manifolds ? We do have to keep the profile down low, because of engine hoods on Cobras.

Haven't tested any other intakes on this particular combination, but the results of a Victor or a Stealth, etc. are fairly predictable. The Torker II is really pretty darn good manifold considering it's lack of hieght.

I'm working on bringing a new intake to market which will be unlike anything currently available, so keep your eyes peeled.

I swapped out the RPM manifold after a rebuild and used the Victor on my 428 FE. I had to plane down the carb surface .250 to clear my hood with the shallow oval air cleaner, but it did not seem to loose anything. Make sure to keep us up to date with your new manifold.

Earlier in this thread someone was talking about weights, so here is some data based on actual results posted on BIG BLOCK FORD'S.
Factory iron blocks run from 205lbs (4.440 bore D0VE) up to 229lbs (4.36 bore D9TE-AB) The A460 (Ford Motorsports) block, un-machined is 302lbs but drops to 255lbs with a 4.625 bore.
My new un-machined A-96 block (aluminum with billet caps and 2.750mains) comes in at 160lbs. I expect it to drop to about 130 lbs when bored to 4.600.
I question the statement that a complete, all iron FE at 500lbs. I read on FORD FE.COM that a complete iron 390 comes in at 610lbs. Alum heads,intake,water pump got it down to 520lbs

An iron FE at 500lbs considering what the intake alone weighs that is hard to swallow.At one time I wanted to build an aluminum 460,still may someday.For now quite happy the way the iron block aluminum topend is working out.
