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!

As always some good comments, thanks guys!

Greg, most use is around town with a blast at the strip now and then. That being said, I'm ok with 3000 rpm @ 74 mph on the road. I'm going with a 255* @ 0.050" cam 800 cfm carb and may change to a single plane intake. Below 3000 rpm it will almost be lugging!

The main reason I was looking at the T-56 was the 700# of torque! I still have a GMPP 572/620 sitting in the garage! With the 370 cc heads I have for it, it should be in the 750 hp range. I have about decided if I'm not happy with the 388 with the new cam I will sell the 572 & parts and build a SBC 427-434!

I really need to sell a bunch of stuff! I'm looking at retiring soon and a friend is wanting to buy my house with the pole-barn! My garage is a jumbled mess now, without the pole-barn??????

Blykins, please PM me I'll give you first shot on the TKO-600 stuff I'll need. So far all I have is the bellhousing and pedal assembly.
