    Just finished overhauling the engine in my '94 Cobra. Needless to say it runs ALOT better :drive:

    here's the basic setup of it:
    -Rebuilt shortblock with Summit 9.4:1 pistons
    -Rebuilt & Ported GT40 heads w/ 1.72 roller rockers, Comp Cams HD springs
    -Ford Racing F303 cam
    -Hooker Super Comp equal length headers, MAC O/R H-pipe and MAC 2.5" catback exhaust
    -Underdrive pullies, SMOG delete, CAI (not installed in pic), Roush 9mm wire, MSD coil, poly-urethane engine mounts
    -HD clutch, B&M short throw, aluminum driveshaft, 4.10 gears
