Brent, I would be curious how your engine turns in times on the track. What car is it going into?

Realistically, the cobra is pretty much a caricature of a sports car anyway. A nasty motor poking out the top only helps in my book. Things like that help to distinguish the difference between tribute and replica.

I kind of wish I had gone for those Cleveland heads instead of my 235cc twisted wedge R heads. Those valve covers look wicked enough to do it even without the performance benefits. If I didn't have stupid money already tied up in my exhaust I'd consider a swap. That said, the distributor would have to go.

It's a '69 Mustang.

I built him a 408C several years back and it dyno'd 575hp here. He just wanted a milder engine, something that would run on pump gas (10:1 compression), sound good for cruising, etc.

His downfall was that he took it to test and tune one night and got hooked...

By the end of the season last year, he was running 10.60's with that 408 I built him. Car wasn't sorted out real well, but he was doing pretty good. He decided that he wanted to change the car to a race-only piece, so he asked if I could build him a much larger engine.

I gave him a 200 hp bump.
