Message: <blockquote data-quote="jfisher" data-source="post: 1504796" data-attributes="member: 10792">Quick update on the Cobra.  I had a leaky head cooling mod fitting on the passenger side which lead to the car over-heating and I believe popped a HG several weeks back.  I haven't gotten a chance to pull the engine out yet, but I've got some nice white smoke out of the exhaust and the car won't ever get up to temp.  I've got one of those big white funnel coolant kits where you can adapt the funnel to the reservoir cap.  It just never stops lightly bubbling.  I was pretty bummed about that and started looking at my options for the repair.I was pretty set on just pulling the engine out and replacing the head gaskets until I ran across an engine on FB and ended up picking that up for a good price.  I have a feeling the engine I'm going to be pulling out is a Mark VIII engine, which isn't a huge deal, but it will be nice having a Cobra engine back in the car.New unit:Teksid block04 Cobra crankJe PistonsManley H beamsMelling Oil PumpARP Main studs, rod bolts, jack screws, head studs and cam / crank boltsDB 9 Thread C headsNew valves, guides and BTR SP008-32 valve springsStock 96 Cobra CamsMach 1 "lower" intake manifoldNot sure if I'll have the car back out this year or not, but happy to be moving in the right direction again.  I have a bunch of mod motor parts for sale if anyone needs anything.[ATTACH=full]18820[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]18821[/ATTACH]It's all new, but going to have Barker Machine and Fab take a look at everything for me and make sure it's all good to go.</blockquote>
