Best 1/4 mile combo's???

[Greg Curtis]

Ford crate 460 with a scat crank and eagle I-beam connecting rods, aluminum cobra jet heads mildly ported. 11.72@120 on Goodyear street tires. Have to launch in second gear, first gear is too low with a 3.73 rear end.

You're right, I would never pretend this car is well rounded. It was built to drag race and I made it street legal. It is actually very well behaved on the street (I don't even use the electric fans on the highway to keep it cool for example).

I don't care much if my car is the fastest or not, and I'm not trying to put any qualifiers on it. It may be the fastest Cobra of any kind on the drag strip. It may be the fastest street legal Cobra on the drag strip. It doesn't matter.

It can't road, rally, dirt, slalom, oval, or any other kind of race worth a damn. It doesn't matter. I'm like most Cobra guys, I built it the way I wanted and I love it. Definitely not the best choice for most people's Cobra.

Colin Mullaney I like your car. Without seeing any other pictures, it looks PRO built. I know you can't build an FE to the same cubes as a BBC. If you could it would cost twice the price and still not make the power you could. I do see the wheelie bars on the wall. I would like to see some other pictures of the drivetrain if you can post them. Your are right about building a car for your own enjoyment. It is hard to build a cobra that can excell in road racing, autocross, and dragracing. Randy Swantz is the closest with his car. He has won the Pikes Peak hill climb many times for his class. He does very well at the Run&Gun everyyear. He ran his car on Propane for many years. Rick L.
