I tend to like my engine and that was what drove me to my car. 468 CID Aluminum block and about everything else. Sounds great, runs great, and other than the wrong starter and a leaky shaft seal which has been fixed. I am a happy camper.

Check the new thread I just posted about the Wounded Warriors Cobra Raffle. Drawing is on Jan 1. Who knows? It could be the fastest way to get that Cobra!

Hi Dave,
I think this is the thread you were looking for. So, Should I Replace This Part or Not?

I have ERA #718 and had to trim the clutch fork. I had thought the newer (ERA 731 and later) editions didn't require trimming (not a big deal). Also be sure to get the Moto Lita 16 inch steering wheel. Looks way better and more accurate than the 15 inch and makes for easier steering. Look at my photos to see the difference. I had also thought of a big block Chevy originally but Peter talked me into using a Ford FE. More $$ but way worth it with the FE. Putting this thing together is half the fun of owning it. I wouldn't do it any differently if I had to.

I think you may be right about the newer ones not requiring a trim of the fork since it wasn't necessary for #782. I'm using a fork for a WR toploader and forks for a WR and other transmissions could be of different length.

I think it's more about the tunnel. <730 are fiberglass if I'm not mistaken. I use a C/R Toploader.

William I didn't catch that you are a soldier. I just retired about 15 months ago.

WTW,
What is the status of your build? You should come to the London Ohio show in June.

He sent his deposit in almost two years ago, so surely the car is close to being delivered.  |

Hey, my deposit was in June of 2015. Correct 2015. No car yet but I’m not pushing ERA either. Good work takes time. Plus, I have two of their factory built cars now I can drive. Yup, I’m addicted to Cobras. Good luck. You won’t be disappointed.
