Drive Shaft Shop got the shaft done and it fit great. They use a CV style joint on the front to mount to the TR6060 and a 1350 joint to mate to the nine inch rear. CV will move in and out for wheel travel and hopefully be vibration free. Some pics.

Thanks. All the wiring is done and everything seems to be working including the ECU. Made a bracket to mount the drive by wire pedal and a clutch stop. Now onto the brakes. Calipers are mounted and hopefully I will have brake lines installed and and brake working this weekend. Wheel should be here in a couple of weeks and then off to the Dyno for tuning.

Finished the fuel tank and lines. Mounted catch can and plumbed the radiator. Tuner is supposed to make house call next weekend so we can fire it up.

Awesome!! I will be watching this thread with great interest.

Great to see another Chevy powered Cobra!FYI, I am currently building a Pace aluminium/aluminum chassis 427SC Cobra powered by a ZL1 LSA and MG9 TR6060. Will be about 2200lb ready to rock. Fun times lay ahead.

Out of interest, have you considered fitting traction control?

What brand is the mount you used to mount the fuel pump? I like the AN fitting style. Was it part of the fuel cell or a separate piece?

Shell Valley uses a 1969 camaro tank so I just ordered a fuel injected tank from tanks Inc. The pump and sender are also from them. They have a few Wallboro pumps to choose from. The one I'm using is good for about 800RWHP.

Last pieces for the exhaust are done and test fitted. Sending side pipes off today to GP Headers to have a stainless set made. I think these look better than just a hole in the body. Hand cutting stainless is a *****.

Default Blown LS fan!!

I've got a home built sports car with blown LS engine myself. On top of the supercharger, I've also converted it to SOHC. It's not a Cobra but a Ferrari GTO. I've got a build thread on another site: C5 gto - All MetalShaping

I really like what you're doing with your Cobra, especially the novel engine angle. I also used C5 Corvette suspension, transaxle, etc. on my GTO. Now that I've said this, you can figure out where my user name comes from

Anyway, thumbs up on you work!

Default side pipes are finished.

Had the side pipes made from 304 stainless. GP Headers used band clamps for a little different look and also make the pipes serviceable Incase of damage. All that is left is some chrome pipe hangers from Shell Valley.

Excellent build! I cry every time I think of why there is not a whipple or eaton roots style blower for a 351 Windsor! I tell a friend all the time how a blown LS3 or LS7 would make the best engine for a cobra. You get your old school pushrod sounding motor with massive power and factory electronics allowing for great MPG. I've know I will more than likely eventually do a 385 series stroked big block and its encouraging to hear someone say how much the engine driving a cobra with as much rwhp as you have. The big block will make good numbers but it wont' put down what your car does.
