This is a car I just purchased. I havent picked it up yet though. Its a 70 Cobra its an N code car. The guy had a 514 in it with a C6. I bought it as a roller to replace the 71 Cobra I am racing now. It still has the stock wheel tubs and its a ladder bar car. I have never driven anything with a suspension like that so it will be fun to see the diff between cars.
The car ran 10.31s best of time so its not a slug. I think I am going to switch out engine and tranny in the other car and run that.
Hardtop Killer thank you for posting the pictures I will take a couple pictures of the other car and see if they come out any better and send them to you. Thanks again Tore

I will try to get some pictures posted of my other car. I took some Friday and they were bad. You know Dev you are talking a boatload of money for back halfing. I really like how my 71 Cobra runs with the leaf spring suspension and I dont have a super big bucks in the suspension either. And it works great.
I wont really be doing much with this car till winter I like the outdoors when the weather is nice. Tore

Nev there is a guy on the 460 forum that does engines in Ohio and I think he goes by BBF Mustanger he has some reasonable prices for engines and some guys had engines done and no complaints. I met him at the BBf Bash last year at Windy Hollow he seemed like a decent guy. Tore

I was thinking of just throwing in a 9" ( got one sitting here that will bolt right up) and ladder bar set-up and runnin with that. but for an extra 2-3000 grand I could do it right and be done with it... but things change and ya never know.

Being in Cinnci you are near the center of BBF territory.
The Kentucky boys are wiziards, Go over to 460ford and look up Lem Evans
