Hi Keith

In a post last week about headers/side pipes I was left with the impression you can build headers/side pipes for CSX/Kirkham Cobras. Is that correct? I believe you said that the typical primaries ( 2" I think) are sometimes too small. What would you build for one of your 482 ci with the Stage 2 Edelbrock heads. Have you found a muffler to tone them down a little. I saw a picture of side pipes with merge collectors on Dick Smith's original Cobra, would that type be possible? Like this w/o the Supertrapps, but with an 18 or 24" muffler..

Why a 428 instead of the magic number "427"? Is there a difference in the Shelby blocks from 427 to 428?

look closer . . . 482

Dyslexia strikes again!

Ha ha,,,,, BUSTED.

Indeed, dyslexia does strike (AGAIN).

We will try to get some pictures posted of some of the engines in different build stages Monday. We can build or change a few things to suite each customer. The pulleys and brackets are billet aluminum pieces but not polished. We can get them polished as well, some customers want that and some do not. The alternator is a standard Ford unit like what came on the engines. We will post some pictures of some different engines.
Rob at our other store, Keith Craft Motorsports[972-578-3550], builds custom headers and side pipes for these cars all of the time. We would be glad to build what ever you might want and then coat them. I feel with these larger engine you need at least a 2" tube size and if it is an engine about 650HP probably 2 1/8" tube size. Let Rob or myself know how we can help. Thanks, Keith Craft

Keith,
Don't suppose you could make that fit in an SPF Coupe???

[Keithc8]

I guess anything could be done with enough work and a torch. We do a nice 427C.I. small block for the SPF Coupe that makes about 600HP that works great. Good luck, Keith

Thanks for the info Keith.
