Default Engine choice for Cobra

Keith,

First Donna and I want to thank you for comming to our car show the first weekend in June "Cruisin The Ouacitas!". We appreciated you setting up your display and the cars you brought.

We have kinda decided to go with a Backdraft or Superformance Cobra. Our engine choice is where I need to ask your help on. I have a built 390FE 385HP engine sitting in my shop that Mark Kuban of Ft. Worth built 5 years ago, it has never been fired. My decision though for the Cobra, I like the advantages of your 408W and the 427sb special that you have right now. Then you have a 390FE package that sounds pretty good also. Would you be interested in the 390FE that I have as a trade towards either of the choices I have listed? The one thing I'm pretty solid on is one of your engines. I am wanting a nice streetable engine because we drive our cars to about 10-15 car shows a year with J.V. and the rest of the local car club. It needs to be around 450HP.

If I chose a SB I have to go with Brodix heads, wouldn't want J.V. to see those other guys heads!

I was just talking with J.V. last week he said he needed to come your way soon, so he said he would call me so I can come see your operation.

Thanks, Alan & Donna
