My Cobra with a different heart beat will soon get it's engine and & transmission.
This engine and transmission lost their way when it's owner (Our Beloved 1980 Z/28) drowned in Hurricane Katrina back in 2005.
Shown below are the MK-4's specs:
1. 383 Small Block Chevy 9.7-1 Pump Gas Friendly Compression Ratio!
2. Eagle Internally Balanced Rotating Assembly With 6" H-Beam Rods With Floating Forged Flat Tops.
3. Dart Iron Eagle 215 CC Heads with 2.05 Intake & 1.60 Exhaust Valves.
4. Comp Cam Extreme Energy 284 Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam
5. Edelbrock 800 AVS Carb Feeding A Weiand 7530 Team G Single Plane Manifold.
6. Schoenfeld IMCA Modified Headers & They Really, Really Fit! (But Stuff Had To Move A Bit)
6. New Old Stock Corvette ZF 6-Speed Transmission With Hydraulic Clutch (Can You Say Double Over Drive?)
7. 3.73 Moser TSD 500 Rear.
8. Harland Sharp Roller Rockers
Before you purist give me a tough time, remember that we are all family here so don't be mean.
I lost a lot more than my car on August 29th, 2005, but unlike over 1,800 Louisianians, I didn't lose my life nor did I lose any family members so life is good. (Just A Job & Lots Of Stuff Instead)
Anyway, please know that I searched long and hard looking at other AC Cobra Replicas before picking Factory Five Racing
Dave Smith himself told me who to contact if I really, really wanted to build a Dark Side MK-4 and yes he tried to talk me out of it, but the heartbeat of my Z/28 had to live on.
Anyway, I'm Pumped!
