I agree with Lippy
he and I were posting at the same time.


I can blow the tires off my Cobra with easy.
I made modifications the my throttle system to give me more gas pedal, better control.
I run the best tires I can.

Half throttle in first
3/4 in second
and when I get into third a little I can go wide open


I build a 347 for my GT 40 last year and modeled it after my Cobra motor. I called Comp Cams and gave them the serial number of my Cobra cam and told them I wanted to move the tq and hp up a thousand rpms. I think I can give up torque on the low end because of the low gears in the Porsche trannie. The 40 and Cobra weight about the same.

Time will tell if I chose correctly

Maybe this summer!!!! It's been a four year rebuild!
