I investigated a few years ago and would do it if I had to do it all over again. ALL the parts, high quality only, run about $3,000-$4,000 plus labor to install properly, which could double the cost at least around the SF Bay Area.
Of course, the hole to be made on the passenger side fender does cause me some concern, not only cutting a virgin aluminum body  , but also the finished appearance too. |

Lots of guys mount the oil tank in the trunk, so there is really no other intrusion as far as body modification. Lots of $$$ spent on lines and fittings though. |

Of course, the original comp cars had them mounted on the front passenger fender. And the oil should heat up faster in the engine compartment with shorter line runs. Just another dream for me. |

No worries; NO ONE will see yours... 
-and the oil will heat up nicely with the tank sitting right over the headers.

What do you mean? Admission of $10 is collected at the garage door. A box of popcorn included. Just go to LiveNation or Fandango for advanced ticket sales. Just search under the event name "My Cobra is Better and Shinier Than Yours!"

Can't give away too many details but I'm home after a day of dynoing...
I will say that peak horsepower was between 650 and 652 and the torque was somewhere between 569 and 571 lbft. ;-)
