I got lucky with the Cobra, my cousin had a factory sponsorship for his race car so I got heads, a cam and an intake manifold for $100 sans valvetrain. The intake was a hybrid they had machined at the Beaver Dam facility. It was interesting but not all that good on the street. I paid $300 for a seasoned block as well. I think the Barry Grant carb was the most expensive new part but I did pay Dean Martinson to set up the heads and he said they were good up to 8400rpm but the rods would let loose around 7000. He is a local guy and has built motors for Bonneville. One car actually made it into the record books.

Overall I ended up with a 2400# car with 406hp/435tq for under $20k. Of course I have another block on the stand ready for a stroker crank and forged pistons so I can get up to 485/525 on the dyno.

The 911 will have to wait until I get it up to Road America or Blackhawk Farms. Road America has some seriously long straights and I can see 155hp struggling there. for the street I bet it is fine since it is about the same power/weight as a Miata.

I am up to January 2014so I am catching up!

Oh Rick isn't weird, he has guns.
