ERA Chas,

A little history - I found/bought the engine out of Hemmings from a guy in Conn - still in the Ford shipping crate - 0 miles on it in 1997. There were dyno sheets which showed 610 hp after changing the compression ratio so that it would run pump gas.

Maintenance/upkeep/problems have been minimal.............so far it has caused me no problems.

Entirely tooooo much power for a 2300# car.........but it is nice to know and have it available if you want it.

I drove an alcohol funny car for several years and comparatively speaking the Cobra scares the HELL out of me.

The 1200 rpm idle is unique to the engine itself - every one who listens to the engine can tell it is a cammer as opposed to a 427 SO - the same is true when accelerating through the gears - again the engine sound is unique to this engine.

Not much else to tell.............call me @ 512-705-9801 if you want to talk further.
