You'll be ok. I just prefer to use blue on smaller fasteners. Red will sometimes cause it to be locked in so tight that you break the head of the bolt off trying to get it out.

I've always used blue and have never had a bit of problems. But I'm sure red will be fine.

Default The most important stuff!!!!

hi tech cobra The most important thing is Beer, Coke Cola, and steaks. They get the reward after the job is done. You may want to add bolts to the motor mounts if they are rubber. This will stop them from splitting under hard driving and still gives the frame isolation from the motor vibs. If the frame is painted you might want to tape and paper off the rest from burn spots when welding. A electric level will help with the perfect leveling of the mounts. This is up to you guys but some of the cobras have the motor sitting 1" to the right for balance of the car. I think you have the rest covered. Good luck, get a couple of pictures. I hoping you are going to have the car on jack stands, try and have the frame level as possible, this make the whole job easier. Rick L

Default New iStart from Apple!

blykins,
I have the muffler bearings, man were they hard to find. Finally found them at a garage sale late last night...guy said they were brand new and fit my application. He seemed to know what he was talking about so I picked up a couple extras. Let me know if you need some.

I also decided to go with the new iStart from Apple. It does everything an iPhone does, play your favorite "Cars" tune, call your wife and tell her the motor only cost $5K, and download the latest Hooters girl calender.

Here's a pic!
