Your car sounds like an absolute beast! Great upgrades to keep your peace of mind. I've been asked a few times why I didn't go the classic 427 route. It really comes down to reliability. I want to be able to start the car up every day, any day. The modern engine management computers do that without a glitch.
Great description too - exhilarating is an understatement and I've not yet even done a 'foot to the floor' 1, 2, 3, 4th gear run. I'll be sure to check back in when I do and hopefully I'll have video!

John,
Glad to hear you are not far off from getting it resolved. We hope to have mine back on the road in the next 2-3 weeks. Be careful with that blown coyote....had a 03 cobra a few years back and those root blowers hit hard! Completely understand the route you took...I only went the way I did as I bought the car
used and it was a good base platform for my long term goals. I will update the thread and add a video when I can.
