Default '80 Stallion

I have an 80' Stallion that I bought 10 years ago for 20K that was a rough finished car with no miles on all the new parts. It is 351C powered with a Nash/Richmond 5sp. I let it sit due to construction projects and have recently resurrected the project. The engine was stock and only revealed 250 hp. The poorly installed dizzy gear took out the cam so I tore it down and have a 408 stroked re-build almost complete. I have pictures posted via photo bucket if you look at WWW.cascadecobras.com. Being a machine shop owner I was attracted to the frame quality. It has 11" Wilwood brakes, a 9" Ford 3rd, and Must II front with P/S. I have sat in other Cobra's and must say I like being able to swing my legs into the car after sitting in the seat, and being able to look under the windshield frame instead of it being in my line of site. I have all the original brochures and the original build manual that express it's ability as a road course capable car. The most improved addition for drivability was the QuarterMaster hyd throwout bearing. I can push the peddle down with my hand now.
