There are certainly many opinions on what is the correct engine for Cobra. Seek out someone with a "real" 289 smallblock and form your own opinion...

Exactly!! Did you see my questions above? I think that is what I am trying to do...nice engine by the way. What are the specs?

Please tell me about how you registered it, what challenges you had, and what you would recommend.

Hyde,

http://www.cobracountry.com/kress/home.html

A 289 is not a bad thing but it would not have enough for me. Would anyone know what or who makes the best brake pads for Girling style brakes.
