Well everyone, the cobra had a heart beat yet again today! Got it fired for the first time, and broke her in a bit and went for a drive! Did the first oil change, and everything went pretty smooth. After breaking it in we finished up putting the fenders and hood back in, along with all the other exterior body stuff, Have a few things to button up tomorrow, and than it'll get a nice wash and I'll be posting some pictures. have a few from today as well that I'll get posted up, just wanted to give you guys a bit more progress updates!

As promised here are some pics, did another drive today! The total mileage count on new motor is 30.8 haha! 10 miles on it yesterday, with no hood,front bumper, fenders, headlights. Yeah, we got some weird looks!

Drive today went well, but it threw a p0355 code, and it started missing and doing some weird stuff but only every now and than.. so it's just got a few kinks to work out with the coil(s).. as to be expected. Motor runs strong, and this clutch freaks me out, Mcleod RST Street Twin Disc and the clutch feel is softer than ANY clutch I've ever felt. Softer than my old Hyundai Elantra. It's Amazing!


Torquing the clutch bolts


Blow Proof Bell Housing

Motor in, the wiring will be cleaned up as usual. (This is how we broke it in )

Putting some front end back on the car


How she sits right now as I hurry to type this before dinner is ready! Let me know what you guys think!

Nice work! Thats the clutch I plan to get when I do a auto to manual swap on my car. One question though, Why didnt you do a head cooling mod while the engine was out?
