Finally got the new 4.6 installed
Well its finally installed. Started it yesterday, took a bit of time but it runs and has oil pressure. Only been run for about 2 minutes, so Its still lumpy and I doubt lifters are pumped up.
Will run it for 30 mins at 2500 rpm on Friday to bed cam in. Then off to the rolling road.

Now looking for 8 seconds with a SBC engine
A mate of mine finished his Cobra build last year and it has a 389 chevy fitted. Its fine in traffic but on the motorway it over cools. We have proved that the stat works as well. There is so much free area up front the wind whistles around the engine bay easily. I always fancied a Cob but never got round to getting one

Mmm, it would be very nice to have a 289 Cobra Le Mans one day, the one with the detachable roof. There's a very fine and detailed project build here http://jontowers.co.uk/cobra289/
Just put on a geared starter, Due to tune of motor, the C/R is at 10.3:1 so the std starter just wont cut it.
Hopefully this will help.
