One thing I don't like about my Cobra

[Karl Bebout]

b871, maybe you were just wanting the distributor to be closer to the radiator? He runs just a small block but gets a whole lot of cubic inches out of it and bunches of power. I'm also thinking that he'd told me once that the car weighs close to 2800#s, if I'm not mistaken.

THIS is what/how a 427 should sound, it reminds me of what I had in CSX 3183, and that cam might still be in it. I last drove it about 7 years ago, the owner, a member here I believe let me take it for a spin, with my wife who didn't marry me until after I sold the car..

dont get me wrong.. I have always been a chevyman...(have a blown pro street car chevelle: 33 years).. love all makes of engines and cars. The power to weight combination in these car is incredible. My search for the right car continues. I have been taking everyone's advice and looking, asking and making sure it is the RIGHT car for me when it happens.
