Poking my head back in

[SVTCobra306]

Hey guys/gals.. it's been a long while but I'm poking my head back in here.. I used to hang around here more back when I was still in Louisiana. 15 months in Iraq and a busy year later I'm checking back in. A few changes since I've been gone.. the Cobra has a 347 stroker in it and now runs 12's easily N/A!

Some pics..

The '96 'vert is my wife's car..

Still a beautiful white Cobra.:banana:

Glad to hear you got back safely.

The car looks nice! What does it run on the bottle?

Welcome back and nice upgrade:beer:

Actually I haven't sprayed the 347 yet.. mostly happy running 12's so I haven't seen the need. I'm building a 351W powered footbrake/bracket race car out of a 95 Mustang so it should quell my need to go fast and keep me from breaking any more stuff on the Cobra.. I ran out of funds building it so it's just a girdled '71 block. I wanted a Dart Sportsman but the additional 2K into the motor woulda broke me lol.

Couple of pics of the "other" project..

It's just a stock bottom end '74 351W with 190cc aluminum heads, comp cam, Vic Jr. intake, AED 750 carb, and a prepped C4 in a stripped car that should weigh below 3100 with me in it... RWHP should be about the same as my 347 but the car should be about 2 full seconds quicker

That looks great so far. I am doing the same but going back in with the 4.6 DOHC which based on cost is a dumb idea....lol
Wish I was as far along as you are

Welcome back man and thank you for putting in your time in the service. I really appreciate your service and glad you made it back safely.

The Cobra looks great......for a 4x4!!!! Looks like it would be lots of fun

lol the Cobra actually has an Eibach Pro Kit on it now.. those pics were stock rear springs/HPM lowers (dropped a half inch) with Mach 1 front springs. It sits lower now but I want it a bit more in the front with a stiffer spring. H&R SuperSports are next in line. The biggest problem is that I have to do double work.. when I take the Eibachs off the Cobra, they get to go onto the wife's 'vert (which has Mach 1 springs on it right now lol).



Yeah the race car is a cost effectiveness exercise lol. I have about 6K into the whole thing including the cost of the car, and I splurged a thousand on the suspension (mmr coilovers, QA1 A arms, UPR Pro rear suspension w/ARB).
