    oil out the tailpipes

    I studied the car and couldn't find anything but oil everywhere, the mechanic told me that it overheated and the block would expand when it got hot and it would compress when it cooled.

    oil out the tailpipes

    The motor ran until I shut it off then it would not crank again. Everything will be tested tomorrow. I took a swab out of the inside of the exhaust pipes and there is oil present in the actual pipes. But I will get back tomorrow afternoon with an update. Thanks guys for your help, I appreciate it.

    96-98 cobra cost

    I am in the market (again) for a 1996-1998 Cobra with miles around 70,000 miles the cost of these cars seem to be just whatever the owner thinks it should be, there have been no consistencies whatsoever in the sell cost.

    intake help

    Personal preference I would go with the JLT. I have had no experience with the UPR PowerTube. A buddy of mine has an 98 cobra with a throttle body, catted x, and flows. I have seen the dyno sheet for a 13RWHP gain from the JLT Ram Air.
