Sorry, I was refering to past visits that weren't Cobra related. I haven't begun my registration yet but was also reading on the DMV site a bit ago & got the same impression. I have also been told by members that we do not have that option. For this reason I have been looking into purchasing a Ford Racing crate engine for mine & keeping the 64' shortblock for a later date. If, & I don't think we can, I could register it per date of the engine I would love to go that route & save these political hassles. Maybe an informed member can give us a definite on this. I wouldn't dare call DMV on this, been that route!!!
