Yeah, truth is it has been in customs impound for awhile. We hear there is a big hill on their lot and they have been racing fork lifts.

SUMMER??? I'll be bugging Reg to get a date of arrival here in ChiTown. I'm hoping it will be here in my garage around the 20th of May. Get motor in that weekend and then take it to an indian wedding Memorial Day weekend!!! That my goal!!!
Is it normal to lose sleep while waiting for your cobra? I'm restless...And I tend to just ramble on and on about cobras to complete strangers...Dr. Willis any advice or drugs?

I guess there was a mix up. My cobra I guess hit state side on the 7th. And now is going through customs...Really sucks since I got a spot ready at Volo Auto Museum-Shelby Show. Now its "I hope to get it done before London!" This last weekend was killer...

Sid,
I feel your pain, brother. I think you can still make it for the London show, but what do I know? I stabbed mine on 4/25 and I'm just finishing everything up this weekend! I only worked one day each weekend and none at all during the week. If you get after it, you can still make it. We're rooting for you.

DYNO STATS:
Engine Factory 396 stroker with Vic Jr heads. Forged Pistons with lowered compression 8.75:1. Using an Airgap intake and 750 Demon Carb.
First run: 335hp. Torque forgot what it was but who cares! Look below!
Final run with tune, rejetting and other tricks 
354hp 389torque. WOOHOO I am happy with that!
MROZ Complete Auto in Marriville IN. If you need a dyno guy for your cobra DAN IS THE MAN!
BTW when running the motor on the dyno Dan hit 151mph at 6k!!! Pretty sure it was 4th gear.

Supercharger! Winter project. I'm going to try my best to come down there. I'll make it down there some time just to see how your new beast is coming along.
