These cars are money pits, no doubt about it. Once you start with the mods, it is hard to stop. Which car are you painting? I thought your Cobra was red and the paint was excellent in a photo I saw. Perhaps I have your car confused with someone elses. I didn't realize you bought another car, congrats. My projects are coming along. I just went up to Erie yesterday and picked up my 347. I had it rehoned and reringed. The builder found 2 major problems. The main cap girdle was installed without a line hone and that wiped all of the bearings. I also had incorrect length pushrods installed and that wiped out the intake valve guides. wick is rebuilding my tememc 3550 - waiting for some parts before we can finish that project. I found a set of brand new moser 31 spline axles for $150. I'm thinking about buying those even though money is tight at the moment due to the other projects. I will get my car retuned at some point this year. I'm hoping that SGS or Lasota comes to Pittsburgh this year - I don't feel like driving the car that far without the proper tune. Be careful putting more boost to your combo. You already have more power than a stock block can handle. I'm sure you know that already. Nice photos of your son in your other thread. I will look for some photos of your Fox.

I just bought all new exhaust for the Cobra, a 92 Fox Mustang, a sh*tload of parts for it, all new front suspension for the Cobra, Its in the paint shop right now getting painted, etc...
I need to lay off the spending for a little while before my wife kicks me out.
Maybe in a year or two I can throw down for the Dart block.

How's things with your car? Are you going to get it re-tuned? Try www.LasotaRacing.com a try, you wont regret it. Did you get the headers powdercoated yet? Any other plans?
