Did I read that right? A Tunnel Port? For the street? Many other questions, but I'll leave it at that for now...

While I wish your client the best of luck, I question the asking price, as you can get a really nice ERA or SPF for that type of dough.
As for the Tunnelport for the street, ERA188 had a 427 sideoiler block with tunnelport heads, intake, and dual Holley 600's on it and ran just fine after I dropped the initial 14:1 compression down to 10.2:1........

Beautiful build.
Not so crazy about the dash layout though. Hope there's a lot of wiggle room on the price.

As Bill said earlier, if I'm a buyer of a $50,000 Cobra, then I'm looking at an SPF or ERA before looking at an early FFR with the perky butt. And as I said, the side-oiler would help resale value more, if it were installed in an ERA for sure, and could go either way with the SPF.
But before a side-oiler adds any value, it would help the buyer to know whether this side-oiler is an OTC side-oiler or a factory installed side-oiler. What year is the block? Does it have solid or hydraulic lifters? And what was the block bored to?
Also, some folks like the 4-speed Toploader (Hello Bernica!), though most are ERA/CSX/KMP owners, and others like me prefer a Tremec 5-speed, so that potentially could be another detraction from the resale value of this FFR. As I mentioned earlier, I think the target market for FFR's skew younger and the youngsters want OD.

Whatcha talkin' about? I remember my Cobra being as fast as it looks. That's all I have at the moment, memories of it being fast.  |

Shame the painter couldn't get the stripes even (look at the front edge of the hood scoop, and the front edge of the hood). And they're waving all over the place....not a straight centreline in sight.
You'd need to do a full repaint to rectify that.

You're right. I looked closer and the left and right sides of the stripes on the hood are way off.

I had a full blown tunnel port in a Galaxie once and I traded it for a 390 HiPo as it wouldn't run under 4500 RPM and was worthless on the street. It made a ton of power at the high RPMs but I wanted a street motor.

Same experience here back in the day in my '61 Starliner. I guess one trick was to epoxy-fill the ports to make them smaller, according to Blykins. Didn't know any of that stuff back then. I also got rid of mine and replaced it with a 406, then a 427 MR. Good times and I miss them all!
