1995 Mustang SVT Cobra

[95SVTCobra]

Chip, I think your idea of building a different motor outside the car is a better one. That'd let you do everything you wanted to it with no real time constraints, and then you just bring the car home for a weekend and drop the new one in.

this!

Exactly my thinking. Plus, it would allow me more time to build the motor the way it should be built, which is reliably. Ryan, I can see where you are coming from, but if it is built right and no corners cut, it should last, especially the way I mostly drive the car (which is less than 5k miles a year essentially). I was talking to my buddy who is going to help me with the build, and he said I could build a 393 on largely the same budget as building a 347, and make more horsepower and torque, which is always fun. Also, there have been tons of 351's built before, and I can use what they learned and research what parts work the best and give me the best performance and durability, thus (hopefully) increasing longevity and reliability. Finally, this gives me a spare 302 laying around to perhaps throw in a project car down the road :twisted:.

If only it were that easy :lol:, maybe I'll buy one already in a car new from the factory waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the road :thumbup:
