[QUOTE="94 Cobra R, post: 1343486, member: 5100"] Gene, Sorry I didn't reply earlier...for some reason, the email notification didn't work. Anyway, here are the beans...don't let it go past the forums :) Ok, this car started life out as a 94 Cobra that Roush Industries had bought for an intern from Sweden. When he went back to Sweden, Roush had the car and it just sat. A pretty high up guy at Roush bought the car for cheap and drove it for a little bit, but got bored. He had his "team" drop in the last remaining 95 R drivetrain in (lower intake to rear axle plus R suspension and some nice Steeda pieces) (there were only 2 extra upper's made and they're gone, so that's why no R upper was included, but the Cobra upper I have is extrude honed). This guy happened to have the only extra R computer (hint on who he might be since he had the only extra computer at his desk). He tweaked the computer and popped it in and the car came to life. Everything was done like it rolled off of the assembly line. After a couple thousand miles, he grew bored with it and put it up for sale. He told me that he programmed the computer to accept a camshaft and that he would love to see me put some heads and a nice cam on it.
