For me this was a good value and I'd do it the same way again.   If absolute performance was more important than OE-like fit I think the edelbrock and trick flow manifolds likely flow even better.  Right now as I type this there's a really clean looking 94/95 real Cobra upper/lower on ebay for $745 "buy it now" and a clean looking upper only (BYO explorer lower) for $478 "buy it now" .    If you're in Austria I'm sure you know better than anyone the expense in getting something to Europe from the states.</blockquote>
