CSX2196 had holes cut in the nose at some point in time. It was the chassis that morphed through cut and try development into the "Flip Top" Cobra powered at one time by an all aluminum 390 FE engine with 4 each 58 mm Weber carburetors. Over time it had all kinds of cut outs in the front of the car but it was an 'experimental' or development type car and not something Ford-Shelby sold new to customers.

Sorry Bob, this thread strayed a long way from GT350 carburetors and factory use in Cobras.
