RE: just purchased 97 cobra
You had to of used higher performance parts. Werre talking a stock rebuid ive seen where u can already get them remained for 3 grand.
You must remember with a factory rebuild you do not replace everything, You check tolerances on rods,crank pisons, valves,and only replace IF needed.

damn 11.5!! you could have found a Mid mileage 99up for a little more...
I got my 96 with miles for half the price, I dont car if the motor goes south anytime soon(which its not) thats all thatwould go wrong and It wont even cost like 3000 to rebuild the right way.

RE: just purchased 97 cobra
wow.. just purchased a 96 two days ago with almost the same set up. Outer pulley on the crank and a bbk throttle body, crazy camber plates etc..
mine has 60k on it... SHOULD I BE CONCERNED, have you had any problems, thinking I may get out of the deal before something goes wrong..

RE: just purchased 97 cobra
if you have the outer pulley too than im thinking it may be a stock setup, it seems like it doesnt come out far enough to run up to a blower, anyway i only put 500 miles or so on it so far. but i guess the cars can take it, i just hate buying cars that were beat on.

RE: just purchased 97 cobra
Mine doesn't look like it comes out far enough either. Although I have never seen one(blower) in person. I would feel better if I knew it was stock, have you found any pictures of stock engines(crank) to compare . Does yours have a huge water pump pulley? off the subject but...Do you think I have a chance of passing emissions with an off road pipe?
