Hmmm, I was thinking a .8 would work well with my existing 3:31. Sounds like my rpm drop might be to much though. I might reconsider the whole issue...
WHAT? You mean you gotta loose the glove box when installing a heater in an ERA? Well that sucks, I LIKE my glove box. But moving to the mainland I wanted to install a heater. I'll pass on the heated seats, that big 427 keeps me warm enough, with the heater, it should be plenty.

RodKnock's choice is a nice one. BUT, if you are honestly going to casually cruise at 80MPH then you will be turning 2800RPM with this setup. That's pretty loud. If you're going to cruise in the mid to upper 60s, then his setup is very nice. The absolutely number one rule when spec'ing out your Cobra, or talking to your engine builder, is To Thine Own Self Be True.

You can't casually cruise at 80 mph in Northern California with "Ponch and Jon" on the freeways waiting to give you a ticket. 
And anyway, turning 2,800 rpm is really no big deal for an extended time with these 482's. Maybe with one of those puny 447's it might be a lot work, but no worries for a 482.  (calm down Patrick, I'm just joshing around). |

Don't know who you spoke with, but I have the heater and the glove box. It was never an issue, as the heater box is centered under the dash.

Me too, they don't even get close to one another. |
