they jus put cobra badges on it . why i have no damn clue lol im prob gonna take em off or jus leave em on it and get a cobra front bumper also and make it least look like one lol the int is shtttttttttty tho . driver seat torn like hell . but my 93 vert needed tranny and rear end and radiator and think oil pump was gettin weak cuz if would run it hard it would have a slight bottom end tap to it . but the kid knew all bout it and seemed to not care . he wanted my gt40p heads with it also and i told him no no lol

make sure system is bled and no air is trapped, make sure heater output is hot, trapped air will cause heater to be cold or luke warm only.......try a new radiator cap
