Cobra Make, Engine: Classic 427, I purchased it May 2005, the kit was bought in 1991. I'm not sure when it was completed! Installed GMPP Connect & Cruise 376/525 with T-56 S/M 3.55 gears about 2 years ago! 1/4 miles is with old setup!

I'm more into Chevy's but I also don't like Scat cast or forged! I have had and know of others that have had problems with them going back 10 years or more. According to my machine shop they also seem to take a lot more balancing (more heavy metal). They like the FE builder above will only use them if the customer insists and if it breaks they are on their own! Also beware of E-Bay sellers reguardless of what the say many are selling "BLEMS"! Scat will tell you to bad for you, we sold it to your supplier as a blem and it's between you and them! Been there done that! Flat Lander Racing are the ones that burned me! Forged BBC 4.25" it took a ton of heavy metal to balance but was never right. It had very strange thrust wear after a few thousand miles, had to replace the crank and the block.

Anything much over stock go with a good forged rotating assembly, it's cheap insurance in the long run!

Just my 2 cents!
