JP,


Thanks so much for all the advice. I really do appreciate it. Long winded is okay because I get you to squeeze more information out!

One of the GT40 guys over at Gt40s.com posted a video of a CAV GT40 doing a highway run. He was in top gear and started at 110mph. It took only seconds to hit 190mph and it was still pulling hard with revs to spare. He put a Ford Crate 347 in it with an EFI set up. Ford Claims 450 hp and 400 lbs-ft but it was dynoed at 507hp at the crank. Not sure what the tq figure was. I imagine your Cobra will pull a bit hard until aerodynamic drag sets in, probably at 150 mph.

On the dyno it pulled from 20-78 mph in 2.8 seconds! Incredible!

This crate motor or like you say, a built 351 would be heaps for me at this point. The 351 would produce more torque - better for the street. Even a little ole 400-450hp 306 would do it for me seeing as the car is so damn light.

Thanks again for your input. Let me know if you are interested in seeing that video of the 190mph run and I will post the link.

Cheers!
