Congratulations Gary! Maybe the 6th time will be the charm. . You've dropped some serious coin on Cobras in your day!

Congratulations Gary. The T.I.T. will be more than happy to assist with the drive train install. What kind of time frame are you looking at?

Great news Gary....
I've also had all three Ford engines in Cobras, and I vote for either an aluminum block FE or the stroked SBF.

Default Congrats Gary!

I know you've been obsessing about this Great choice, and a big endorsement for the new Hurricane! I am sure this will be a model TKM car!

You know, nothing thunders like a 482 FE .. it might drip a little A 427 Windsor would be fine too. But if it was me, I'd get Keith to build it .. I've been very happy with how I have been treated by his company. I feel like they know who I am when I call. And if it swarms, he'll be there for you.

Looking forward to seeing you roll up in yer new snake!

Sam

Congrats, on your new ride, I cant wait to see how she looks with the paint , and all, do you know if they made any mods to the foot box area, from what I have seen, and heard , its a very tight foot box area, with the brake and clutch and gas pedal way too close for me.

Have you checked one out in person? Obviously not. The Hurricane, with its dropped footwells, and a modification that I designed that is now included, is much bigger than almost every car available. I wear a size 12 EEEE and have no problems. On other cars I've tried, my feet wouldn't fit in the footwell, let alone operate the pedals.
