The hot rod magazine website isn't updated to reflect the monthly content. It is in the current July 2004 issue. It's worth buying the magazine for the article alone. The 20,000 Ford Maveric, a profile on the "Daisy" V-10 and tons of other Ford stuff is just a bonus.

Thanks for dropping in Barry. How did you find us? I notice you hadn't been around before.

I hope you find something here useful. We have perhaps the best source of Ford and Cobra related information anywhere. I can't speak for anyone but myself be the Genesis block has been something of a Holy Grail for a good number of people here for a long time. We routinely see guys dropping 20k+ in 40 year old engine parts. While that's fine if what you want is a NOS engine most I think would be happy making 500 hp reliably and without excessive costs associated with "NOS" parts.

Can you tell us about how much you have invested in the engine? Obviously yours is a high end build and costs will vary but hopefully like everything else future production will force prices down as suppy catches up with demand. How long had you been waiting for your block and or planning this build?

Thanks in advance,
