[QUOTE="CanuckCobra, post: 2787923, member: 16328"] hey fellas, Well it's decision time, on Monday morning I started the car up and it was running really rough and the driver side head was ticking real bad,limped over to the dealership and was diagnosed as a spark plug blown out of the headon #7,stripping threads etc..so $5K(Canadian) for a new head or $750 for a hellacoil and no promisies...took the latter and while the car runs fine I now have a serious engine knock that the local mustang mechanic says is likely a piston,whatever it is it's definetly terminal. trouble is I need a car for work,in fact I had planned to sell the Cobra(not that I wanted to) and get something I could put a ton of miles on and drive cheap. however I am getting offers on trade in for about $13k less than I owe on the Cobra making it difficult to buy a new car. So now I'm thinking of getting a cheap lease and keeping the Cobra and fixing it over the winter.. Fr500 Cam's '03 Heads,forged pistons/rods.Ported intake.4.30's,put the Eibach springs on that are sitting here. It has 50K miles and is in great shape otherwise. It would be tight but I could pull it off..I love this car, :shrug: Any thoughts would be appreciated ,thanks guys. :beer: [/QUOTE]
