Going From a $6500.00 to a $650.00 eng

I found a 351w roller eng. for $650.00 EFI long block .I put it on Layaway

This will be changed to a Carb set up . So looks like the Cobra will be back to building sometime in the first part of the year .This will work for a while till things get better but I am excited .I Don't think we are putting this one in a glass case

I am looking forward to having it ready to drive for Cobrastock 2005 which will be moved to late August due to the rain in September ...

Wow nice buy Tony! I think I spent that on my pistons and rings. Man this sure is an expensive hobby. My New Years resolution is going to be all Cobra project next year. "How much money you got and how fast you wanna go?" says the parts man.

Oh Yeah it is very expensive our Motto is
ALL IT TAKES TIME AND MONEY !
One thing is when it comes to the Paint it will be a Killer Paint Job

I am looking at redesigning the floor with lots of leg room
