Thumbs up My Cobra's First Start-Up Video - 460 Ford Crate; Listen to that Sweet Sound

Well its been a long time coming but my engine fired on the first key turn. What a great feeling after all these years of solo sweat and toil. This is the 460 Ford Racing crate engine rated at 500hp from Ford. It has the SCJ Alum heads developed by Jon Kasse with a "mild" 234/244 duration hyd cam which appears to be an Edelbrock Preformer RPM cam. Sounds great at a 900 rpm idle !




Here is a video shot during the cam break-in running @ 2,500 rpm.

Thanks goes out to all here on CC who helped me make this go alot easier by sharing their experiences and knowledge. And to my son who figured out all the video production details.
