trade my 70 chevelle SS for a cobra???

[chev-hell]

well, im good but not a mechanic per say, the problem i was having was getting it tuned on the low end 100-1600 rpms crusing, well turns out that it really can't be tuned any better as i took it to a chasis dyno and i was almost dead-on... the cam is 3000-7000 rpm cam and the heads are HUGE, which makes the low-end very picky.... really the only thing you'd need to learn how to do is how to adjust the valve lash, with a solid roller it's needs done every few thousand miles and it's pretty ez to do... The dyno shoed around 550hp because the heads are really too big, the intake is too small for the heads as is the cam... but they work fine together, just not getting all of it's potential... (which is fine with me because it's a cruiser not a track car) If you know a decent mechanic he could ezily keep it in tune if you need it done, i have an a/f meter on the pillar so you can see if it's running right or not too.. basicly it likes to run over 2000 rpms... i run the a/c and have a huge custom stereo in it. If you ever have had a big block in a big heavy car like this a stock motor will dissapoint you quickly... my motor is mild enough to cruise, but if you wanna go it'll pull this 4000lb car... your more than welcome to come on out and go for a cruise with me if your close... I go to a lotta car shows and they are usualy 50 miles or so round trip and cruise around town 3-4 times a week.. it's "broke down" only once since i've owned it and it turned out to be just a bad ground wire on the MSD ignition...
