Mildly built (1966) 289 question???

[Troll]

Here we go again with the AC Cobra: http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/3672339854.html

From the info. in this write-up anybody have a good guess on HP? I'm guessing 300-320 crank hp? without any cam info. it's kinda tough.

Don't really dig the color, but from what I've been able to find FiberFab and Doug Nash are now out of business, but decent companies at the time???

This seems like the correct forum to post in since the engine is from a '66 plus there's only 4 other threads here.

Without knowing the internals I wouldn't figure it having more than 270 at the crank

Don't like the color or wheels. It would have to be blue with white stripes and the knock off wheels.

I'd go with a Factory Five for that kind of $$.

It only weighs 2500 lbs or less. who cares how much hp it has. :)

It looks like Mater from the Cars cartoon with those things in the grill. :D
What are those, oil filters? Why two?

I work at Cal U and have seen this car driving around... i never saw it "run" but it does sound pretty good in passing.

66 289 regular heads are small cc heads just like 289 hipo heads, so that should help compression
