Everybody's over at the new site, http://hm-cobra.proefrock.net.  But I hear the new owners of Hurricane are going to assume the management of this forum any day, so who knows what will happen.  Lots of good info and pictures here for sure.

Steve,

You cannot imagine how happy you have made 122 testosterone-filled orphans.

Best wishes, can't wait to come to Iowa.

Didnt know how to start new topic but must assume some of you out there know whether or not this co. is still in operation or have they pulled the plug? Some of us out here would still like to buy and build us a cobra. Any info, or comments would be welcome Thanks TK.

Tk, would a turn key minus, at a discounted price be of interest to you?

Open up (elongate) each hole 1/4" to the inside,....??

Brad

Suck it up, you wont be sory!  KCR will build you a very streetable monster.  It is NOT too much! [smiley=evil.gif]

I forgot to mention that it's very possible I have no idea what I'm talking about...

Is Grand Rapids to far?

Being a Cobra rookie, I was not initially concerned about being "correct" at the start.  The more I looked at pictures, I sure liked the look of the Trigo wheels with 15" tires, so that is what started the "correct" decisions for me.  When I found I could buy a brand new side oiler crate motor, I knew I did want to say, "I wish I had ...."   Since it would be built with all new parts anyways, the difference in cost between 450 HP and 600+HP was next to nothing, so what was a man supposed to do!  By the time I put a small air cleaner on, and choke it a bit more with the side pipes, I honestly don't think it's too much, scary yes, but not too much.  I did opt for the aluminum block, a five speed gear box, and Yoko Avids, (which btw stick quite well), so correctness only went so far with me anyways.

I'm in Grand Rapids.  Lots of pictures in my gallery over at Club Cobra, same user name, "Burgs".

Here is the picture from the link above.

Jim,  

The 65 side oiler re-pop, is cast in aluminum with date codes, by both Robert Pond Motorsports, and Genesis, although the Genesis blocks may be harder to get.  They are side oilers, and it was $1000 more for the aluminum, compared to their steel counterpart.  They are not original, but they are REAL.  

There, I got that "REAL" one in there too.   [smiley=evil.gif]

#6 had the molded scoop.

Doug,

The X-brace drops out with four bolts easily.  Just make sure the bolts go in from below, with the nuts on top of the frame, so the long bolts can drop out from the bottom.  The gear box will drop out from underneath.  Been there once already, and will be going back there again soon.  I did find a compact transmission jack, that worked great when using jack stands rather than a lift.
