Thanks, Gary. It looks like the approx. 625 HP that Keith told me it would make woith the parts he supplied is certainly valid. I would think that your Stage III heads make the HP difference between mine and yours right in the ballpark. Thanks for the kind words and validation on the pricing. I was hoping I was doing the right thing on the price. By the way, Gary - your car look to be on of the nicest I've seen. Outstanding job - I hope I get to see it one day.

Doug,

Hope all is going well with you and your treatments. I've been following the progress on your Cobra now in Ed's hands. If you are feeling well in late March come to San Marcos for the Texas spring meet. I'll have the car there and love to take you for a spin!!!

Guys, the engine is SOLD !!

I need to arrange shipping, can anyone recommend a decent shipping company that won't charge an arm and a leg? Also, does anyone have any tips on the best way to crate this engine up? I want to make absolutely certain that it's done correctly. My engine builder has done it numerous times before, but I want to fly up to NY to inspect what he has done when he's finished so I'm sure that it's proper and secure. Thanks!
Doug

Hi, Gary -
Hopefully I'm up to attending, I'd love to head out to San Marcos to meet all the Texas guys. I'm working hard to try to beat this darn disease, if I don't beat it, it'll at least know it was in a hell of a fight!

Once I'm done I'll do my best to get out there. Thanks for the invitation and the kind words. I hope to see your incredible car one day.
Doug

Glad you got it sold and sorry that you had to sell it, but at least it's one less thing to worry about. I'm sure someone got a heck of a deal and will put it to good use.

Doug, Congrats on the sale. Is there an update on the completion of the CCX with pictures possibly?

thanks

I know who bought Doug's motor! Yes he got a great Motor, But he did like what he has done has so many times before for guys, he Just wanted to help out! From what I understand he doesn't even have a Car at this point to put it in! (I'm sure he will!) He has helped me personally over the years, helped in BIG ways for the "Double VenomSpring Fling". His heart is bigger than the whole out doors of Texas! "Fella" you have more keys to the "Pearly Gates" than anyone I know! "It's a fine and generous thing you do my friend.....................
