Behind the scenes

Lately I have been doing things for the Cobra apart from building. I researched and found a blank Bill Of Sale form that I need to use for the engine and transmission. I then edited in my info for the engine and will try next week to go out and show it to the guys at Troop C (in their new offices in St. Charles, not off of Mason Rd.) to get their pre-approval. Once they okay the engine, I will order the tranny, hopefully next week.

I have bought or ordered several items needed to finish off the engine build and install. This week, I ordered the ignition control box (with a selectable rev limiter) and coil, the MSD6AL and Master Blaster.

Locally, I picked up the 2 motor mounts that attach the engine to the frame.

I also ordered a high-torque mini starter.

I still need to get a pair of exhaust gaskets and lots of little pieces of hardware for mounting/plumbing all of this stuff. But soon, I will be dropping the engine in place, if not permanently, at least to check out how well things will fit. The lift plate I ordered earlier should be coming in soon for that task.
