interested in buying a cobra block... it will have to be shipped to me. thats the first scary part. it comes with block crank pistons rods and was running low compression, first seller states piston rings... he wants $350 for it. i offered 400 shipped... ($130) to ship. would you buy this block.. or is it to risky.. i'm in VA and he's in CA

 

what year cobra... you already have a helluva block and crank... both you will not see the limitations of. get some 18cc or 22cc dished pistons (Forged + forged rods) and you will be right around 8.5:1 (22cc) or 8.8:1?(18cc).(through a 4v).

 

its a 96-98 cobra, same teksid block. im gunna have to have one to build on the side so i can just swap it out in a day or.. week even instead of a month. its my DD and can't be down that long. hell still owe money on the car haha. anyway, 96-98 cobra, crank, block, pistons, rods, main caps.. maybe even heads and the rest.. waiting on confirmation. coming from cali, up to $450 shipped. waiting on a respsonse. also how can i protect myself from getting scammed here when this transaction goes down? cod? paypal?etc.. worth the risk?

 

paypal, if u never recive it they have to provide a shipping # and tracking # or else u get ur $ back.

there is a small fee.

imo i wouldn't go into a build like this still owing on the car.
