FE heads rebuilt on 472 - video anybody?
I got ERA 472 back yesterday from my trusty mechanic and friend, Dan. Dan really knocked himself out with this car. Upgraded to ARP fasteners where able, heat shrink tubed the threaded bars, machined the headers/head contacts to eliminate gaskets, improved the linkage, replaced power valves, and much much more. Had the heads rebuilt by Total Engine in Bloomington - arguably the best FE guys in the Twin Cities. Had some abnormal oil consumption, so I wanted to make sure to address it the right way. Dan's new tune and lifter adjustment really woke up this car and it sounds incredible. Still available, so tell your friends. This car is really nice.
If you have a nice set of speakers on your computer, turn them up now. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryUbAroRw9E"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryUbAroRw9E[/ame] [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flWPRJjHH3g"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flWPRJjHH3g[/ame] |
Reminds me of why I originally started out to paint my car red. Looking good - hope you get an offer soon. :)

She looks a really classy car, and a total bargain for $60K asking if I understand it right.
The only thing its missing in my eyes is the front oval bumper, nothing a couple hundred buck wouldn't solve. Well done man. This and and Fullchat's (Allen's) 289 are high on my desire list. What a shame my wallet is empty :CRY: |
Per Dan,
This car reminds me of why I love a red cobra and why I have owned two of them. I love the dual carb engine / compartment. That is the way I want mine to look one day. If this car was available 3 years ago, I would have snatched it right up! For me, all that is missing is the stripes. The two looks I like is the full bumper set-up or the race jacks. If the bumperettes stayed, I would add the hoop. GORGEOUS CAR, good luck with the sale |
