Gents,
I believe I have finally figured out how to upload pictures and since I know that I will have tons of questions and will be seeking for advice in the future, I thought the best would be to consolidate it all on one thread... That way I'm not clogging the forum
Let me introduce myself... My name is Jesus and I'm 37 years old, my wife Monica and I are the proud parents of a beautiful 3 year old girl (Nicole) and live in SLC, UT... I always wanted a Cobra and was on top of the list of cars that I had to have in my life.
The BDR Cobra came into my life by luck... A good friend of mine with whom we have spent countless hours talking about cars, happened to meet a guy in VA that owned the Cobra and was thinking about selling it... It didn't took long before the car was been shipped from VA to its new home in SLC... Unluckily, all of this happened very early in the year and weather didn't allowed me to drive it, but I had to fire it up to get an smile on my face very often.
I don't have a clue on which BDR number is it and would love if someone could point me at where to find the information in the car (I hope it's somewhere!)... It is silver with black stripes and has a 351W with a Tremec 5 Speed transmission... According to the owner, the engine was build and I can tell that it has some aftermarket parts such as an Edelbrock intake, High RPM heads and CAMS; it also has 750 Holley Carburator... No idea how much power it makes, but my best guess is that it is between 375hp and 425hp... I will get it on a dyno one of these days just to kill my curiosity.
So far, it has been an awesome experience, although I have had some issues which are to be expected... I had issues with the clutch, which thanks to the forum I was able to fix by bleeding it and lately it has been dying on me because of faulty spark plug wires and distributor cap, which I hope to get resolved soon... I can also tell that I have some minor
oil leak coming from the differential, as well as from the head gasket... I also changed the air filter with the Oval type ones (which looks pretty nice).
Anyway... I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, post some pictures and start a thread where I can seek for knowledge and advice on this journey
Regards,
SS
