Thanks for posting. I've built about 30 SBFs with the retrofit lifters but just wanted to try using the stock setup for no better reason than I was bored and wanted to know how it would work out. It is amazing how simple it is to use the stock roller lifters and I really don't know why...

I'm going to convert my 1974 302 to roller lifters. I already have a late model HO roller lifter setup and a Lunati small base circle cam. I have two questions: 1) Do I just drill holes right into the cam bearing surfaces and then tap? and 2) is it necessary to spot face the lifter boss top...

I've had this fender sitting in my garage for about 25 years. It's in good useable shape and seems to be completely rust & bondo free. It should go fast for $50. Located in Nashville, TN.

I am interested in putting a 9" rear axle in my '65 Coupe and know nothing about the swap. My local wrecking yard has a surplus of them and I do not know which to choose. Does anyone have recommendations of what to look for? Do I just measure the length for something that will fit? Will I be...

Check out the Late Model classified section, I'm going to post some info about a local dealer selling new '03 Cobra Coupes for $27k.

LMAO! I can totally relate! I seem to remember having a drag car... but somehow she ended up with it... As for my '65, I've been meaning to snap some pics and throw it up on eBay, selling all the NOS stuff, engine, AOD, and other things seperately. I'm either looking for an easy trade or to...

I have a 1965 Coupe with a new 400hp 289 (now 306) professionally built by Alternative Auto. I have $26k into the car but have lost interest. It is 80% through completion of an anal-retentive restoration but I'd rather have a '97-'98 Cobra. Let me know if you want to trade...

Open mouth, insert foot. I am thankful that you were able to put it in that perspective, however, am also sorry if that has caused some grief...

I have checked around and other dealers will honor that price. One has even claimed that they can beat it but they want me to come in before they say exactly how much. It seems that Ford is offering an additional incentive... What's cool about my first find is that it is local to my house and...

In my quest for a nice '01 Cobra Coupe, I've been nearly unable to resist the temptation for an '03... the fact that dealers still have many new '03s available isn't helping my crave either! So, been doing some shopping and the best price I've gotten so far is $27,956.67 -not including tax or...

I agree, as I'm also looking into new Cobras. There are 30+ Ford SVT dealers around the Metro Detroit and suburbs with a total of 138 '03 Cobras between them... There are roughly 40 Coupes in colors I like. The first one to make me an offer I can't refuse... well 'nuff said :)

Jim- I was not thinking that at all! I'm just really glad someone else believes me... getting beat by a slug bug was kind of embarrasing. So, in the mean time... I'm going to look for a 5.4 liter : )

Cool, thanks for the tip! Also, it might help to explain why I am looking for more speed now (after owning the car for nearly three years). 1) I only have two payments left : ) 2) It will be off warranty soon anyway. 3) A while back I went to a local drag strip (the only time I've...

Not that I doubt you, but I know people who have gone fairly crazy and are only in the mid-13s. I am looking for a 12.0 flat minimum. Which bolt-ons will get me there? What suspension changes? Usually, I'd add traction bars, 90/10s, KYBs, etc... but this car seems to transfer weight and...

This thread is also in the Drag Racing forum... I would like to get into the 12s with my '01 GT and still keep it drivable... And want to do it by adding some C.I. -not by NOS, turbo, supercharger, or by crazy compression ratios. As I'm new to the performance aspect of these cars, what is the...
