I see very few as well, I work about 5 miles from HPP. Certainly helps being that close.

Congrats on the Cobra, I actually considered this as well. Those Cobras have held their value well. I am sure the first vids will not be too exciting, it will be much more car than I am used to and will adjust the boost as I get more comfortable with it. I will use an eboost2 controller. But, I will share them.

Thanks guys, it has been a long time coming.

As a quick update, I just ordered the TH400, Shifter, bell housing, converter, flywheel, dipstick and all the other related items. So this completes my drivetrain purchases. Now just waiting on delivery.

The heads are near completion and I hope to post some pics of the porting job. To keep my car on the road I started with known good heads.

Now the bad news, it appears as work has me booked for a large amount of travel over the next few weeks so progress will slow. But, that is ok as I am waiting on parts anyway.

I hope to remove the rear end this weekend, strip it and take it to HPP to have the Axels welded in their jig. Once I get it back, sandblast and paint and rebuild everything including new bearings.

What is the best paint for the rearend? Looking for a Matte Black.
