New Best

[burntire]

Had the car out for the first time on Friday with the solid axle.

1.54 60ft 10.75 @ 129.6

Whipple 19 PSI
Stock Manifolds with a Catted X.
Miller Race Cars Anti Roll Bar.
28" Slicks
Stock front suspension with stock wheels.

The car definitely has a 10.6 in it with a little harder launch.

Well the new best time is great, but unfortunately I hurt the tranny.

I was getting what sounded like gear wine and some vibration on the way home.

After some trouble shooting I found the output shaft is bent like a banana. I am surprised it didn't break.

Well I am working on my auto plan now.

Nice time! Sorry to hear about the T56, but if you put an auto in there that would be Real men shift gears.

LOL with a full manual valve body I will have to shift.

Breaking the OS isn't common is it? I have never heard of it happening that I can remember?

i think it might be starting to be a trend

i have seen at least 3-4 others on modfords with the same thing recently

Not really after a little searching I have found a few have snapped. I didn't break mine I just transformed it into a screw instead of splines.

Cluch pedals are stock on Cobra's... it would look kinda silly with it missing one.

Lotta fast Cobras have gone auto.

I know but it takes a WHOLE lot less talent to drive an auto.

Yes they can be used to activate the transbrake.

Still tossing that around. I don't really like the cost and issues that I see with the 4r70 option. Th400 is strong, but I will be at 3000 RPMs to go 60 MPH which kills highway driving.

I am leaning towards a D & D Viper Spec T-56 at this point.
