New Bowtie Cobra

[ItBites]

Cobrat,

Nice car. As far as how will your rear hold up? My Bowtie Cobra runs 540ci of Dart block BBC with haltech EFI. I also use the C4 vette front and rear suspension. My pump-gas combo puts 540 SAErwhp to the ground and so far the rear is holding up, but I run competition track-day tires and not drag slicks...

And I think Karlos is wrong (sorry Karl for butting in) about a factory block going to 555. I think that most will not take the 4.530 Bore that 555ci needs, but you can go to 496ci, which is nothing to sneeze at as I have seen Karlos run 10s here at Speedworld.

On another note, I have a sheet silver bowtie profile soldered to a brass rectangle background that covers the FORD lettering on the cobra fender badge and it stands out a little more than your CHEVY ball-milled lettering, but yours looks more hi-tech, being CNC milled.

Welcome and enjoy your nice ride.

Thanks, been a labor of love. . . . Any tips on tuning the C4 suspension? Are you running the Dana 36 or 44? We mounted coil overs up front and rear. On the rear we attached the coil overs to the hub shock mounts. Seems like not the best method. . . . I hope to get some track time and see what she'll do this summer. Glad to hear from fellow Bowtie owners.
