Hi Guys and Girls.
This a great forum. I have been on here as a guest researching information for a unfinished project GForce Cobra I purchased about 2 years ago. I have a background in motorsport, Rallying in my 20-30s before working for rally teams, V8 Supercar teams and recently Doorslammer drag teams. Thought I would join and hopefully swap/gain information to help complete the build.
I have been collecting parts to build an Old Skool style cobra. I have a 5.0 Ford roller motor, Scat 347 stroker kit, mild comp cams roller cam, roller rockers, HV oil pump, Rollmaster double row timing chain etc. I converted the front of the engine back to early spec, with Romac balancer and STD pulleys. It is running an Old Skool Holley intake manifold with LPG carby and Cobra style oval Aircleaner. Holley rocker covers and Cobra style large capacity finned alloy sump. Tran is Toploader with Hurst Indy Shifter or Speco XB Ford copy shifter. (will choose when I have Gbox mount done) Mustang alloy Bellhousing with internal slave cyl conversion. I have collect about 25 Smiths gauges(some for parts only) to build an original style dash with Lucas switches etc. Suspension is Jag front and rear. Running Old syle 5 spoke mags.
I would like to Thank the Forum and its members for the information I have already received and hope I may have something useful to input.
Thanks
Bender

Welcome to the site and that other car in your garage is a nice looking piece of work. Congratulations on getting your Cobra and having it to the point it is now. Best wishes for the future.

Hi Guys, Thanks for the warm welcome.
Yeah Ron once the Cobra is finished it will be back to work on the 32 Tudor. Should be a cool car with a roof when its finished. Lol
Thanks era cobra. Looks like 347 enines are the way to go.
Thanks LoBelly. I will check out the Aus site . It will be great to meet fellow Cobra owners.
