I'm a die hard canted valve 351 Cleveland guy so my car will be a bit different than most on this site.I recently bought an already gutted out 94 Cobra, it seems that everything Cobra other than front bumper cover has long since been stripped and is long gone so I have no problems with the continuation of its metaporhasis into a strip/street car rather than the most often street strip car.I have been lusting over the new Cobra Jet factory drag cars for the past few years, and when I found this R code '94 I thought what the hell, I'll start with the Cobra, add a 71 Cobra Jet 351C and a C4 and I'll go out and have some fun at the local drag strip.As it turns out, after returning home from Kansas with the Cobra roller, I found a Marine in AZ that was stripping his Fox body drag car, with a  351C and toploader 4 speed, I needed a bunch of parts to finish mine radiator, fuel pump, headers, ect. so I basically bought everything radiator back to tailshaft, he is out in the 112 degree heat pulling it and will crate it and send it to ND for a cooler clime.The roller came with a welded in 6 point cage, UPR adjustable spherical bearing rear suspension, 3 way adjustable rear shocks 8,8 with a 4:10 spool, Granitelli rear cover, C-clip eliminators Moser Axles and long studs for the Weld 15x10's and 28" MT drag radials. the front end has coil over drag stuts, UPR tubular lowers, and UPR crossmember, Weld skinnies and a fiberglass cowl hood of unnamed source.I have already changed out the pedal set to a manual set, the power rack will be swapped out for a flaming river rack that will come from the Fox body car with the engine. I will have to do some tweeking to the steering shaft, I may just put in a FOx Steering column or replace it all with a pure drag race column and pop of steering wheel.The interior was gutted but the car came with 2 dashes (neither with the Cobra Logos) a floor carpet a set and a half of interior panels two alum race buckets and belts that are date 2001 so they too go in the junk box.the trunk spare tire well was cut out, and replaced with a piece of flat tin, with a 15 gallon fuel cell bolted to the tin, as well as a rear mounted battery. the Body is in excellent shape, it is in primer and ready for paint, the car was in an accident in 1995 and was repaired very professionally, but I think the salvage title back then led her on the downward spiral that got it into racecar status. It has a replacement Mustang GT rear bumper cover, and the 94 lighted rear wing is missing. I started gutting the dash of all wires not needed for the very basics of street legal, I'll leave the wipers, signallights and tail headlights. everything else will be stripped from the harness.I'll post pictures later today.-blizzardND</blockquote>
