65 Cobraking.... Dont mind Sizzler, he must have had a bad day at Wrigley. Of course nearly every day at Wrigley is a bad one. Dove makes a lot of nice stuff. Some Alum blocks are better than others. Unless your running 1200 hp the Shelbys are overpriced but whats new. For the money I like the Dove roller rockers and I think their Alum heads are better built than most. Robert Pond is a national record holder and has raced FEs for 30 years. To set a national record these days with an FE engine is deserving of a medal in itself. I'm sure the Mopar and Chevy guys have a hard time dealing with it. Dont worry about having a stock iron FE. I owned my 1st 427FE in 1968. They're as heavy as steamship anchors. Using an Alum block, heads and manifold will lighten up that front end by 250 lbs. The one thing that Ive learned in this process is to "Please yourself and to hell with the Everyone Else". Most of them dont own original Cobras anyway. And if they do they probably inherited them...Michael
