Hello Fellow Cobra Lovers. I just registered myself to this Forum. I'm s new owner of a Replica of a 1968 Shelby Cobra. I've read many posts and replies about the motor overheat issues. I currently have the same, I followed the suggestions that were listed. My motor does have the brass blocking plate in the block but the thermostat was not for the Cleveland motor. No idea if it in fact was a Windsor thermostat or not. Nonetheless, after I bought the car, I trailered it home from South Carolina. I drove it with little overheating during the drive. That's when I read some posts to get the idea of the thermostat. I believe I got the right thermostat and tried driving it to check my problem of overheat. Yes in fact it did overheat. More than it did the first time I drove it. I then began to go through the coolant components and I'm no mechanic but I do know something about cars and the basics. Brakes, tuneups, coolant flush, etc. Nothing serious though. So I've found components I have no idea why it is installed on my car or what it is expected to do except taking up fender wall space on the passenger side in the motor compartment. Does anyone have any idea what the components are for a Ford 351C? Please help.
