ok fellow MN snake owners...I'm getting closer to having my toy finished! I installed the drive train last weekend. 406 ci SB Chev (yup...chev motor in my cobra) that made 510 HP at 9.8:1 on pump gas...you gotta love those Pro-Action heads!! Lots of thanks to Brain at R&R performance off central avenue....he is a GENIUS with cylinder heads!! Along with the Super T-10 (2.88 lo) and the Mosier 9-inch, should be quite a handful come spring! I thought I would have to sell it because of the volatile airline industry, but decided to finish it come what may. (Who needs food anyways??) Had a hard time finding the right bell housing/clutch fork combo, but Lakewood came through for me...at least now I don't have to worry about losing a foot if I miss a shift and the clutch explodes!! I'd go to sleep now, but every time I close my eyes, I envision myself behind the wheel of my finished kit and the adrenaline starts pumping...anyone got any valium??? Talk to you soon..... Bowtie (aka CBRALET)

That's good news! Those milestones like engine installation do help the adrenaline level, don't they? I'm about to have a painted body. Tim shot the body yesterday and is doing the doors, etc. today. Next weekend is sanding and buffing. Can't wait.
