Sammy, they have the eyebrows, but that is why we need to mock them up. In any case it had to be done, so I have my fingers crossed. I asked some other experienced builders just for a sanity check, with cam specs, and they thought it would be OK.
One thing in our favor is the intake valves are the 1.90 instead of the 2.02. Exhaust I am not too worried about.

A lot of the FEs running around in Cobra's have more valve lift than our .560 or so, and bigger valves to boot.

So the odds seem to be in our favor, but you never know until you check it out.

Congratulations on getting it back on the road. I can't wait to hear that new engine of yours running......I thought your last one sounded pretty mean. You better keep an egg under your right foot for a while until you get used to that thing!
