Five years and embarrassed to admit how few miles. Only averaging 1,200/yr, but I also travel quite a bit and follow my high school baseball player son around religiously. So those are my excuses. Then there were other prolonged driving delays such as the bearing swap, the fuel pump eccentric issue, the cracking oil pan, getting the rear wheels widened, custom mufflers, blah, blah, blah.

Same short block, but had new aluminum heads put on about 30,000 miles ago. Had a porosity issue with an old pair of aluminum heads, so we replaced them.

Ray,
You covered some ground during the first four years! I went back and read your post from 2002 about when you first purchased your Cobra in 1968.
http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/show...175#post305175
Great story.
