You know, I think I just need three Cobras. Keep my little screaming 289. Build one with a torque-monster big block. And lastly, one with a little 4-banger to trip around in for some fuel mileage. Yesterday I took the 454 Corvette out for a spin. Today, the Cobra. Although the Cobra will spank the Corvette in a drag race, there's just something about stomping into that 454 that makes me smile.

I don't know why I consider this such a hurdle, but with the high-winding 289 I now have, the car runs great with the 4.57 gears. Why am I willing to toss the perfectly good engine to build a high-buck 390, but am balking at swapping out a stupid cheap set of rear gears to make it run right?

Maybe I need a therapist instead of a 390. (?)
