How do you like the Dove setup? What cam did you go with?
I realy want to keep the engine stock, I will most likly pull the engine this winter. In 30 - 35 years it will be worth $12.00 or
$15.00 US more. Better than the bank I'm at! Stock 427 in a Midstates Cobra to me is the best...............A real Cobra
would be the Bomb. Next Life. Thanks Paul and every body,
still looking.

Shipping costs are something I'm getting really used to now
I'ts not uncommon for something I've ordered from George or David to cost more in shipping and taxes than the original cost of the item
The engine has only been rebuilt and back in the car for a short while and I'm still taking it steady (Not going above 3000rpm at the moment) but it all seems to be working fine. Lots less sound from the engine (IE the tappets are not as loud
)
At the same time I put the dove setup in I put in a comp cams grind 282s solid lifter. Also re-bored the cylinders and added new pistons, re-ground the crank, skimmed and lightened the fly-wheel, then had the turning assembly balanced.
I thought I'd re-build the gearbox (Toploader CR) and replace the clutch at the same time
Some bstrd nicked the shifter handle while it was at my friends workshop (He has all the engine hoists etc) So I've had to order a new one of them as well from David (TL shifter handles with reverse lockout arn't cheap
)
Oh well. Got there eventually!
