Unless he sent something to you that was broken, which ain't gonna happen, you would be quite pleased with either. I think it's now officially time for you to write a check to somebody, otherwise they're likely to assess you as being more of an irritant than your business is worth.

" I think it's now officially time for you to write a check to somebody, otherwise they're likely to assess you as being more of an irritant than your business is worth."

I really hope you're kidding, otherwise there's no need for you to respond further. Look, I don't have the money that you must have to purchase any engine, so I can't and wont, just pick any motor that's for sale or have a engine builder custom build me a engine, like you do.

I research everything, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you or anyone disagrees with my methods or learning, what's out there and best bang for my buck, then you don't have to follow me along with this discussion and engine build/buy. Unless I'm wrong, isn't this a discussion forum to ask other members their thoughts and ideas pertaining to our Cobra's, engines, drive train etc,...??? That's exactly ,....what I'm doing. If you or engine builders don't like me or anyone else asking in depth, with many questions, regarding engine choices, and you don't like it, then tough,...I get off my back.

If you don't have anything positive to add to this thread, then stay off.

I really hope,...that newcomers don't see your negativity here and decide to go elsewhere. Except for a few members like you, Club Cobra is a wonderful website !

Go to a different "discussion" forum and complain all you want, just not here on Club Cobra.

"... and your little dog, too." Jeez, just trying to help the guy.

[FUNFER2]

That was help ?

Anyway, I have been speaking with the owner Dave (great guy) about that motor. It's not exactly what I want, but close and he even came down on price a little.

A engine builder said to replace the rods. (cam and slugs of course)
But, there's more money

Here's some info, pics and a video link. Let me know what you guys think.

MY EMAL TO HIM-

I've been looking at a lot of different ad's. A friend sent me your updated ad on CC.

That friend has the same year Cobra I do, and he has the tunnel wedge on his 427 side oiler with no hood interference.
So it must be lower than the Edelbrock Air Gap that I had on my 428.
It's a great engine my friend & wish I could buy it. Perfect !.

HIS REPLY-

This engine is closer to 500 HP with the roller cam and tunnel wedge intake with the 710 cfm Holley's. I changed the valve covers and spark plug wires to give the engine a "prettier" look.

Here is a link to the engine running on the test stand a couple of months ago: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEX_wW9ygrA[/ame]

He's a "great guy" because he wants to sell you his engine. Other than that, you don't know him from squat. And didn't you get burned royally the last time you tried to do an internet engine deal? Don't do business with strangers -- again, just lookin' out for you....
