Thank you again for the help. Pins ordered. Probably going to pull the trigger on the vents. Any of you guys ever detached those? Appear to be epoxied on from underneath.
Need to take a closer look at the splitter and decide if it's $850 worth of improvement to replace. I should have the...
The louvers are odd but theoretically not that big a deal to deal with. They don't look /bad/ until you get real close. They are not physically impaired in any way I could tell.
I did end up talking to Shelby and they indicated this car was automatically upgraded to the Eibach setup because...
PS-- If they build the new SS on a GT500 base, perhaps we might see close to triple digits. Turbo Voodoo would be an interesting route; base the SS off the GT350R?
**New info: it's got a Spec triple clutch. Insinuation is that since Shelby doesn't typically upgrade the GT500 clutch that they are commonly toasted at the higher power levels. Does this hurt value significantly?
Also, some of the fasteners under the hood as well as the tops of the coilovers...
Thank you again for your time on this! I may try to go look closer at it tonight or in the morning. Just a lot going on and wasn't really looking when this popped up Friday. If I were able to get this for say, sub-$35K, would this be a "OMG BUY IT NOW" or a "you might get your money back out...
Yeah; it's kinda strange how it's listed there. Seems like that one page is a one-off potentially non-authoritative reference that the owner thinks is more important than is. Thanks again for looking; it's a friend of a friend I will help out if I get to experience a cool car in the process...
I had the mileage wrong. Somewhere <21K. Previous pictures were pretty bad so I got better copies. Still not great, but you can actually see some stuff in these.

I did get pics of the whole invoice from SAI with all the goods listed. Didn't see anything other than 725HP. That was actually listed. So scratching my head also a bit on the 800 claim. Let's say it was a regular SS, any guesses on value @ 29000 miles in great shape always in garage...
Well I meant more like enjoy it for a year and then sell it for what I paid, assuming I get a great deal and take care of it. Should have just kept my 04 CO Cobra but such is life. Any guess on value? Was there in fact a 800HP option available directly from Shelby?
Thanks.
I have the opportunity to invest/enjoy one of these for a while due to an acquaintance needing to sell.."quickly."

Hi,
Bought the complete(everything he offered at the time) rear end set with the custom installation tools from ac427cobra about 3-4 years ago. Been sitting in the box since. Also have a brand new(also in box 4 years) rear end brace(zinc coated /colored).
Sold my 04 Cobra since then and...

Aluminum Block, Stroker Questions
I have an opportunity to pick up a complete motor from a '93 Mark VIII(it's a 130K mile motor for CHEAP), and I have a few questions.
I have heard that this car would have the Teksid block. Is this true? I have also heard that there are some parts that are...
