That is your wife is a keeper, as is the cobra.
Enjoy both mate.
Car looks great.

anyway getting back to the rebuild of the cobra,when we bought her she had been underwater for 5 days during the brisvegas floods in 2011.previous owner bought her with a 351 cleveland stuffed into her bowels and left the water in it till i bought her 18mnths later.....yeah the donk was cactus shame too as it had been a good rebuild with some good gear by the looks

we drained almost 6 of thes out....doc

there was no way we were going to put the clevo back into her as u can see there was no room to get at back 2 plugs either side,u couldn't even get plug leads off rear plugs,so we decided to put it back to the way it was originally built

we found an au2 efi windsor and went about taking off unwanted efi bits

so when we got all that off we sourced some goodies to put it on gas

we had a fun time cutting the au's serpentine pully system down to ma useable size in the ac,we spoke to peter from drb but little knowledge of any au2 windsor motors in drb

...so we went about the job
