The last few posts to this thread were 'lost' with the recent crash\restoration of the ClubCobra data base.

Heres an up-date:

I have about 3000 miles on the engine now. The old Mallory Hi Fire was recently replaced with a new MSD distributor. The dual 'race carbs' also were replaced with brand new 'street' 600 cfm Holleys. The engine just keeps getting better! Runs VERY strong, nice and street friendly, it's everything I ever hoped for!

Whats next? I'm thinking I'd like to get a 289 FIA Cobra, hoping for a pretty accurate build in that regard. Nothing to 'modern'. Small block, top loader, IRS, stamped steel valve covers. The more 'period correct' the better!
