Not Ranked
I'm currently shopping for a Cobra. I stopped by the factory at Lonestar and am planning on going back for a second visit this Friday. I'm looking at a used car, that they refer to as "Greg's old car". It needs to have an engine that is street legal for CA, usually that means an engine that predates the smog requirements. They showed me an engine on a pallet that comes from a local builder but I do not remember the name. They said it was a 1965 352/390 and essentially stock. They did indicate that the pistons were all .030 over. Suggesting that it had been overhauled at least.
Any advice, suggestions etc are welcome. Does anyone else have experience with the local engine guy?
What about the rest of the lonestar? Does it handle okay, rattle, fall apart, ride good etc?
The price is not too bad but I will be a long way away when I take delivery.
