I know this is a SOHC thread, but brief digression - wasn't there a group order a while back on magnesium Halibrands? Why didn't you order then?

Here's the link:

"We" were soliciting interest so that we could get an order of magnesium wheels into production, but they never went into production.

Nice engine. 850+HP might be overkill in a cobra. Also, in addition to the normal modifications, I bet you'd have issues with the height of that intake as well.

Maybe try again? With the economy in the tank, maybe they would have more interest now?

The height of that intake would be the least of my issues. Spending $50K, or even $40K on that engine, would be the beginning of my issues. Then adding to my list of issues would be modifying my car for that engine.

But, hey, if someone is willing to give me $35K +/- for my 482, then I'd strongly consider it.

Regarding the magnesium Halibrand wheels, I'm assuming interest in spending $3,000 +/- for a new set of wheels would be minimal due to the economy.

RodKnock, can you help me understand the benefits of having magnesium Halibrands installed on a Cobra? Is it just to be period correct or are there other intrinsic benefits associated with having these wheels?

Do they add value?

I would appreciate hearing your view on this.

EDIT
Apologies everyone, RodKnock, perhaps you can send me a pm so I don't appear to be hijacking this thread. I know, I know, I just did, thus the apologies

Thanks, tin-man
