The only thing I can say is ask if all the work was professionally done. 4V engines are a different beast than a pushrod engine and require alot more fine tuning. Good luck.

Just be smart, if it's a kid that has the car with a upgraded pulley and drag radials then it's most likely going to get beat on. TBH I cant really imagine anyone not beating on a cobra but obviously the more aggressive mods on the car the more they beat on it.
