Wow, that engine sounds like a beast.

What prompted the move to a bigger mill? Getting bored with breaking the rears loose in third? Trying for fifth?

Just cannot leave well enough alone. Besides I'm afraid that sooner or later I will end up going through the same thing you have. The engine has been great up to this point, runs strong. I swore after supercharging my Vette, that would be it for Road Monsters, I never learn!!!!!

How's your Cobra running??

Well, since you asked, about 600 miles after the total rebuild, two Crower hydraulic roller lifters collapsed/froze up and needed to be replaced.

Runs like a raped ape now! Can't imagine having another hundred lb/ft of torque. I already have to fill the trunk with illegal aliens in order to keep the rear tires from shredding themselves.
