Cobra Transformation...

**Wolfpack Speed** · 08-24-2009, 05:57 PM

As many of you know, I tried to sell my cobra not long ago. This is my 3rd Terminator and I have always wanted a Lightning. I had a deal in place to trade my car for a sweet L + cash. The owner backed out and when I couldn't sell my car to get the cash for the L, I just decided to keep her! I have received some public and private sponsorship for the build and started working on the car a few weeks ago! Originally I wanted to keep it an Eaton, 6-speed, IRS street/stip car for a year or so. I just cant bring my self to go drag racing with that silly boat anchor in the rear so I am in the process of building a nasty 8.8! I will post up as much as I can on the build as I go, going to Team Z Motorsports for an 8.50 chassis in the next few weeks!

Quick Time supplied me with one of their sweet bellhousings! Big props to Ross and the crew @ Quick Time for helping out with the car and making a top notch product! Last week I installed the 26 spline input shaft along with the Quick Time bellhousing, RAM clutch and flywheel. Here are a some pics...

How long till you lose interest in this one and is gets stripped down to a shell?

**somethingclever** · 08-24-2009, 08:07 PM

Yep...missed that pic the first time...doh

Some of quicktime's aren't SFI approved so that's why I asked.

Good luck with the build!

Looks like a cool project Mike.

This one is a keeper and is why I am using a top notch chassis builder to lay the foundation. Wouldn't be much to upgrade if I want to go faster, you might just see me competing in Drag Radial some day...

Thanks guys!

Nice Mike, I like the plan and you can't go wrong with Dave and the crew at Team Z.
Were you up there this weekend? My brother Josh thought he met someone from Wolfpack. Later man, J

Looks like it's going to be a sweet build.
