Default For those of you building or waiting for your new Cobra, HERE is your engine!

I posted this in the "For Sale" area again tonight, but for those of you who do not visit that area, I figured I'd post it here as well. I had a buyer for the engine, but before we could complete the transaction he fell ill and could not go forward. Sooooo......here it is again. There are pictures in the classified ad in the "For Sale" section here on CC. I tried to put the pictures here, but when I went to upload them into my gallery it said they were too large. Sorry......


Brand new aluminum 482" Sideoiler stroker engine

This engine was built by Tony Carey on Long Island, NY. It has never installed in a car. It's fresh, incredibly powerful and ready to go. I spared absolutely no expense in building this engine, it truly does have the best of everything on it and in it. Tony photo documented the entire build. That would be available to any potential buyer. Tony has been building almost exclusively FE's for 40 years, he's the FE guru here in the NY area. He's a preferred engine builder for ERA Cobras as well. Some of the guys here on the forum who have been around a while are familiar with him. ERA is very familiar with him as well. If you're waiting on that ERA, Kirkham, Shelby, Hurricane, SPF, or whatever brand you chose Cobra or GT40 to be delivered, this is your engine!

There was lots of custom work done on this engine to give it a very original looking flavor. I would never sell it except I am now facing very serious health issues and can no longer proceed forward with the project as planned. The engine is currently at Tony's shop on Long Island, NY. Again, it's fresh, never installed, and is has never left his shop.

This engine was not dynoed, but Keith Craft, who supplied most of the engine parts, builds this combo often and he informed me back at purchase time that with the combo of parts that he sold me it routinely dynos over 620HP.

I lost track as I shot past the $22,000 mark of how much I have sunk into this engine, it's actually well north of that. The parts alone can't be bought for my asking price for the entire engine. To contact me, Email is best. Email me at DMarotta737@Gmail.com. I monitor my email regularly, so I should get back to you within the day.

This engine is available immediately, and it's ready to go. It was designed and built for a Cobra, with originality and awe inspiring performance in mind. Some parts shown, such as bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, starter and surge tank are not included.

Price is $16,500, and it's available for immediate delivery. As I said above, you can't even buy the parts for that amount. Thanks for looking.

Doug
