Cobrat,

Nice car. As far as how will your rear hold up? My Bowtie Cobra runs 540ci of Dart block BBC with haltech EFI. I also use the C4 vette front and rear suspension. My pump-gas combo puts 540 SAErwhp to the ground and so far the rear is holding up, but I run competition track-day tires and not drag slicks...

And I think Karlos is wrong (sorry Karl for butting in) about a factory block going to 555. I think that most will not take the 4.530 Bore that 555ci needs, but you can go to 496ci, which is nothing to sneeze at as I have seen Karlos run 10s here at Speedworld.

On another note, I have a sheet silver bowtie profile soldered to a brass rectangle background that covers the FORD lettering on the cobra fender badge and it stands out a little more than your CHEVY ball-milled lettering, but yours looks more hi-tech, being CNC milled.

Welcome and enjoy your nice ride.
