Congrats on the SPF! Have fun, but take a little time to get familiar with the power and the fact that you only have a 90" wheelbase before getting too crazy. -It doesn't handle like your Pantera OR your 'Stang ! The 392 crate is a very popular choice for a lot of Cobra replicas (I know a couple guys with them myself) and it has been pretty reliable. If (I mean....WHEN) you get to the point of wanting more HP, do a search here on CC because there has been a lot of discussion on the power upgrades for the 392. Heck, just changing out the GT40x heads for a pair of AFR 185 or 205's will give you an extra 70-90 HP according to my buddies that have done this.

-Welcome to the Madness! Have fun, be careful, and (most of all) thank you for your service.

Terry
