The powdercoaters have the "krinkle" color that matches just right - and the stuff is indestructible. It really makes it easy to detail. I did the timing cover and all the idler/front accessory brackets too - the engine always looks new.

This car is sick I would love to buy it if I could...I noticed you had the ford racing supercharger on there, where did you get the setup? I have an 01 cobra motor in my car and im looking to go with a SC setup but was looking at the kenne bell.

Do some searching for "eaton swap" and you'll find a list of parts that is required to convert your car to the 03-04 Cobra setup. It is that setup that will accept the whipple/ford racing blower (you don't actually use the OEM Eaton). It's a little pricey - not uncommon to cost $3-$4k for all the Cobra parts by the time you're done (that's buying most of them new) In the end, you have about a $7k investment in a supercharger setup - about the same as a KB kit for your car but this is better, IMO (aside from the more complicated installation). You should also consider a built short-block. By the time I was done, I had about $11k in my engine/supercharger setup alone. PM me if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help out.

The prices I used as examples are 10% over cost from tousley ford. It's just a long list to do it right. Generally you will always save money buying a car already done as opposed to buying all the stuff.

Ok ok ok, I've got the ultimate offer for you. I'll give you 20k, my 6-banger, AND I'll even pay for it to be shipped here. I know I know, I'll let that wash over you for a minute :D
