Have any current CSX owners on the Board added the drive train and engine on their own or have the majority contracted the job to CSX referred specialists?

I installed the drivetrain in my CSX with no problems.

Let me ask a question. Would you feel comfortable pulling and replacing an engine in a car? If so, there's nothing special about dropping an engine/tranny into a Cobra.

The others are right - ask a dealer about a "Runner Kit". Give Shelby dealer George Anderson at Gessford Machine in Nebraska a call. He's a great guy, and a straight shooter.

Here's a pic - all you need is a few good friends......
