Wanting a new Cobra in the best way from PA

Quick jacks will pass, but the demister vents must be present, they do not have to be working, but they must be on the dash, go figure

Edit: Call the enhanced inspection station that is closest to you, ask if they will inspect the kit cars, some of the enhanced stations do not here in PA.

Dare me to install vents but with no actual cutouts below them?

Here is something else to consider.....Ford is going to offer and aluminum 427 small block in about 60 days with 575 HP. I've seen the engine but not the price yet....

We've been advised that it will be about $3k difference in price and the power levels have been revised down to the same as the iron block at 535HP. I will say the engines we have installed so far seem like they are being conservative on the power levels. Realistically you probably will see 550ish at the crank for these.

We have a test mule / inventory car now that I am extremely happy with. And several more of these engines sold and on order. There have been some delays in getting them, but the wait has been worth it so far.

Some pictures (we did it up with a Turkey Pan we cross developed with Master Touch and a Kirkham Billet Tank):











In Roush land they have a new offering called the 427SRX that is supposed to bridge the gap in price difference between the 402R and the 427R. I have not ordered or installed one. There are some changes going on at Roush that I hope will bring us more options and better values.

More choices. Thanks Jay. It seemed like such an easy decision a month ago. What to do, what to do? Oh, got the farmer thing. I get it.

Maybe with just a small amount of silicon that could easily be removed.....
