Evan H Wait A minute.
Turk I donot mean to insult you but what did you pay for your block?? Was it still in the crate, or low milage used with the correct numbers? Condition of motor is part of this forum.
Evan H I don't need to come down to see your motor installed or put together. No comment about Weston. Smart thinking. Shebly had 3-5 alum motors built back in 65, The turd got one, it was only a 390, but all alumium not a 427. Overheating was the problem, They needed a bigger radiator and louvers in the hood to fix the problem. On a personal note Seals lead the way. Rangers follow Master chief Patches Jimmy Watson Seals. I do not need any e-mail from the rangers. He is entitle to his statement I am entitled to mine.
RacerX#99 Another out of right flied statement. DO YOU KNOW WHAT BBSP IS? WHAT SBPRO IS? WHAT BB PRO IS? We had this talk a year ago and you are still out in Right Field. BBSP means big block street prepared. SBSP means Small block street prepared. BB PRO means Big Block Pro. I had a brand new car with no miles on it and was asked if I would run in the Pro class to have someone in it. I had 15" BFG tires on it and a clutch problem from a centerforce clutch. Pure street car. Supercharger was off. 340 hp rear wheels. First race I went to. Where you there? How did you do? I think Greg Allen had the quickest time and he is not a cobra. A turbo mazda 1800 super seven. I was the slowest expect for the 4 cylinder there. The car was not set and the walls are too hard for the car. I now have bigger brakes, 17" tires and some driving skills. Joe Rodamista is one of the best smooth driver I know in a cobra. He does have a wieght advantage due to the FIA. He has helped me with springs and shock set up on my car and reading tire temps for the right alignment. He's a class act. Don Dommer is also a class act. and runs a 20 year old car. I have the highest respect for both and not because they both own ERA cars. Smith brothers and friends Dennis O. Greg Allen and the list goes on. You are not a plus for this. I hope never to meet you or Evan racing. You both do nothing for this sport of nice people.
Jamo I think he needs a Seeing eye dog to read the 200 lbs different between an all iron FE motor and alum shelby. The correct numbers for the 427 was added later my Fault. Rick Lake
