YEPPERS 429!!!!
I think mine came out of a Torino,, I think..
I need to run the numbers on it . I'm getting the motor from an old friend
of mine.Like friends for 30+ years. He sold it to a guy that had a 68 coupe too
but someone hit him and he was done with it.
It has all been rebuilt but i'm kinda shaky on just what he put into it.
I do know that it has never been turned over as it is still on the engine stand in my buddy's barn.
I'm gonna pic it up for a grand,but it has no intake or distributor. I want to pull the cam and check it also as I have no idea
what grind it is. When it all comes together I will post some pix.[8D]

RE: 03 svt cobra
I used not to like mustangs at all, I guess the big reason was because everyone and his brother has one. You can't drive through town without seeing at least a dozen of them, and I live in a small town.
Well anyways a buddy of mine got a 98 Cobra and wanted to race me (I have a 93 300zxTT stock). He had done a little work to his and was putting down about 320hp i belive, and mine puts down 300hp stock. The point is I couldn't belive the low end torque that car had, way more than my 300. I did end up beating him, however I didn't pass him until around 40mph, and then I just slowly left him. Of course my car wouldn't stand a chance against the newer Cobras now.
After that I got a lot more respect for the mustang, and if I had the money wouldn't mind having a cobra for a DD. They are nice cars and are probably a blast to drive.

RE: 03 svt cobra
If you are really interested I will see. I not at the shop right now so I cant get no prices or product info, but it is not worth going through us unless you are local. We are in Fresno, but if you just want a price or brand offer I can see about that.

RE: 03 svt cobra
i havent changed my pulley yet and i dyno'd 411 at the rear wheels. after the pulley changes and maybe a supercharger port i should be at 500.
love that car. 07 gt 500 is sweet too...but a lesson learned from the 03...dont buy first production runs...wait for the last...that is when i bought mine. some early cobra's had ticking problems. all of them had programming problems until 2004 lol

A stock GTO has never in any magazine comparison or at any of my local dragstrips come anywhere near touching an 03+ Cobra. It simply weighs way too much. Now your talking about breaking out aftermarket blowers. Put a Kenne Bell on that Cobra and its goodbye GTO. A full exhaust on the 03+ will net 75+ hp to the REAR WHEELS. Do some research. At my local drags the GTOs are pulling 8.9s consistently on the 1/8th. 8.4 was the fastest I have seen and that was with exhaust mods and a blower. I have yet to see any cobra no matter how terrible the driver run slower than 8.4. That guy on base just can't drive end of story. The GTO is a cool concept I wish Ford would have continued and upgraded the Marauder. Sorry for the long post I just couldn't listen to ppl trash the Cobra. Im a Ford guy but c'mon I'm not going to sit here and say the Z06 is slow but c'mon the GTO just isnt in the same class as a Cobra it should be compared to a Charger now thats a fair comparison.
