[750hp]

Michael - that black ERA is the most perfect Cobra ever to feature in a magazine! The owner looks on this website every now and then, and has thoroughly researched every aspect of his car. I have spoken to the company that made his gearbox, and even they commented on what a perfectionist he is!

My own car has an RMC body (Perth) I have a supercharged small block Ford motor - SVO 4 bolt 9.5" deck height block, steel crank, billet rods, JE pistons, intercooler, Autronic computer. It's not on the road yet.

I think the Wilwoods for that money are good value. Just make sure the pads are usable on the street. Some pads only work within certain temperatures, and driving on the street won't get them "up to temp". Not a nice feeling... I went for the Wilwood GNIII 6 piston, and Superlite 4 piston calipers (with the 15D-4332-K pads) for mine, and although they don't have dust covers I think the quality is there.

Sloth - STICK WITH A FORD!!! I could go on about resale value, and the original Cobras having fords etc etc. I didn't bother about any of that, I just think the Ford motors can make great power. I have a Windsor based ford motor in my car, but if you're thinking about a Cleveland based engine, the best Ford Cleveland engine builder lives up here in Brisbane. He can build anything from a nice strong 351C for $5 or $6K, up to a 700hp single carburetted animal for a little over $20,000. Speed costs....
