Cheap V8, makes power, light car.

With those headers, decent heads and a decent carb you can get 300+ HP out of it.

People around here seem to need an education in COBRAS, so here we go!

The original COBRA was based on the AC Ace, first marketed in 1953 with a body designed by John Tojeiro, which body was a virtual copy of the Superleggara Touring "Barchetta" body used on the Tipo (Tee-po) 166 Mille (Mee-lay) Miglia (Mee-lee-uh) Ferrari and powered by a lumbering 2-litre Bristol car(tractor) engine.

This was no fun, so in 1961 Carroll Shelby approached AC about buying a few Aces in which he would install the FORD 221 CID V-8 to sell on a limited commercial basis. Shelby built a prototype and everybody who saw or drove it positively SHOUTED "SHIT!". Ford discontinued the 221 and went to the 260, so the new engine was installed.

Now the 260 4 bbl engine developed a whopping 164 BHP but would nevertheless propel the new car to insane speeds and 0-60 times; stuff like 0-60 MPH in 4-5 seconds but the best thing about the car was the HANDLING and an early Cobra would blow the doors off damn near anything on a road course.

The 260 went away so Shelby began installing 289s; only the first 75 cars had 260s.

The current replicas are NOT of the 289 for the most part but of the "427", which is a completely different car, resembling the original car only in appearance.

The "427", of which the car in the OP is a replica was a great car but only about 55 or so of them actually were equipped with 427 side-oilers. The rest had box-stock Thunderbird 428s!

The OP has a much better car as the 427 equipped versions were so nose heavy that a 289 would eat their lunch on a road course and the cars sold in Britain were not equipped with the big-block but rather the 289/302/351 engines.

I have driven both ORIGINAL 289s and 427s as well as a "427" fitted with a 351 and that one was the best car by far. It's not all about straight-line acceleration, you know!

The 289:

The "427":

Listen, learn and enjoy:

I would have to disagree with you. I have made many business contacts since I have been back.

I have been making some people some good money as well since I have been back to a place where it seemed I was once outed.

We have WINNERS and then we have haters. Which are you?

You took a new prospective on what this board can bring you and are not dealing with the trolls anymore. We will see if AlienQ will do the same. If history repeats itself, he wont be around long once people know it is him and start the heavy trolling.

I think you might mean "PERspective" and you left out the apostrophe in "won't".

nice ride!

justinsain · 05-11-2011, 10:03 PM

Cobras are one of my favorite cars and its really cool to hear about the history, barn finds and restoration projects.

I was just going through some old video I took at Sebring and they had a display of several historic Cobras. I got some video of that and then cried when I saw that there was also one of the six original Shelby Daytona Coupes on display in the background and I didn't think to get some video of it. I'd be all over it today.

Here's a video I found last night while looking for Ferrari GTO clips on YT

I got in a few spins around the neighborhood and down to the store for some smokes today

Nice SallyRand knows his stuff

!
No way I could do a 427HP I would not want one in there anyways, the 351 Windsor was tight enough. I dropped the engine in this thing myself I do not think it would have fit honestly. Guiding the engine in inch by inch is high stress easy to crush a finger. Even a 351 is a tight fit. I will never forget the day.

Thanks man! I'd love to build one myself but I've got about three cars to go before I could even THINK of doing a Cobra!

To give people an idea of just how tight things are under the hood of a Cobra, if one takes a close look at the first of your older photos; the one in which the shifter can be seen, it will be noted that the gearshift lever points TOWARD the dash. This is because the lever itself is turned backwards because the driver actually sits alongside the transmission and the driver's feet are more or less alongside the engine! This configuration is the real reason that most Cobras had side exhaust! Too much heat in the footwells! Burned feet were a malady commonly experienced by the race drivers.

Looks as though you have done a great job on this one!

March 1964.
Shelby-American enters a 427-engine leaf-spring Cobra, CSX 2166, at Sebring to the prototype class. The Cobras, for the first time, beat the Ferrari GTOs.

sounds like the 427 mkIII does just fine in the turns eh, couldn't beat ferrari with the 289 cars on a road course.

that's why i would put a 427 in a KIT cobra.

Thanks for the english lesson, you do realize this is an internet message board right?

Just checking.

It is true, some people have nothing better to do then to fuck with other people (like doing spell check on a message board). You just have to know how to ignore it.

Btw,

Really nice car. Would like to hear what the motor sounds like. Make a youtube video with the car running.

I am of the opinion that people who find themselves unable to effectively communicate because of such issues as an inability to properly spell in the language in which they have chosen to write should STFU until such time they can engage in both meaningful and effective communication.

As far as COBRA NOISE, until the OP gets his vid up on Youtube, try this one on for size:

Hey tubby.
I heard you gained more weight since we last talked.

Well...
More weight? He was a tank last time I saw em. We are all getting older.
Older and fat, and blood pressure is a bad mix to add in to those sort of things.

You would think someone could let go of the past, yet others insist on carrying it on there shoulders. He mentions melt down yet he is the very same guy that slandered me for quite sometime and now wants to call his attacks on me a melt down though I was defending myself from his constant blatant lies.

I am over it yet he clearly is not.

To each there own.
