David: When I decided on the Shelby engine, I figured all the components would be top notch. Thanks for the confirmation on the crank. I am running Shelby heads (82 cc); a Crower 297HDP hydraulic camshaft (intake duration: 298º with .590" lift, exhaust duration: 308º with .588" lift); Shelby medium riser dual plane intake manifold and Holley 850 carburetor with vacuum secondaries. I think the dieseling problem
is the combination of too much compression with crappy gas, but if you have any other suggestions, I am open to suggestions. When the 85% ethanol blend is available out here, I will be the first Cobra in line. After a little conversion work, that is. No one said it was going to be easy. Rich
