I have a Shelby aluminum engine going together for a customer that asked to back out of the deal due to the fact he ordered a 4000 series Cobra from Shelby and lost fath in the delivery. I returned his deposit and now have this engine in process. It will be digitly photo documented during assembly and the owner will get a CD of the build and dyno testing. This engine can be a 468" or a 482" and some other items can be tailored to your needs however it is in process so hurry before I lock in the package.
Some of you may not know me, My name is Mike LeFevers and my company is called Mitech in Orange County Ca. 714-572-3672(www.mitechengines.com) and we have a complete machine shop and superflow engine dyno facility. I worked for Carroll Shelby Enterprises for the last 10 years and did the development work on this engine for Carroll.
Thanks for looking.

I sent you an email but got no response, probably lost in cyber space. Is this the same engine that Chuck was selling here? Please email me Michael4yah@msn.com

Mike - just curious, was there any reason why you choose Edelbrock heads rather than Shelby?

dynoroom · #5 (**permalink**) 06-07-2005, 05:41 PM

The Shelby heads are very good heads but can cost about $1000 more the the edelbrocks. The customer did not see the need to spend the extra $$.

Thanks for looking.

I have a 392 crate motor with 2000 documented miles on it and am looking to upgrade. Its installed in my 2003 superformance cobra. Any interest in a trade plus cash.

Regards,
Brad

Hello Mike,
what exactly are the "cobra mods" with the clutch, flywheel & bell ? Just curious.
