[Nor Cal Al]

I put in the 392W-430hp crate motor and am more than pleased with it. I think you will like it better than the 351. My number 128 is about 2 years old with 2,600 miles. I put in a scattershield because of the torque and all the fiberglass. I also used the Tremec tranny. It's stronger than the T-5.

You mentioned "wife" so I would recommend the second roll bar. I have 2 on mine.

Armond and his crew at CA Cobra are great people. Wish they were in Nor Cal. I know you are in the Bay area but we have a great group up here in Sac that meets the 3rd Sat of the month..Check in the clubs under Nor Cal Cobras.
