[QUOTE="11Past9, post: 11831327, member: 85096"] Ok so I am used to boosted 4 bangers, 6 cylinders and know some basics of V8's. I am hoping someone can give me a no bullshit kindergardenish crash course on pros and cons, reliability etc. I am considering buying an SN95 Cobra but would like to know the basics so I can use that knowledge to become more V8 savvy. The SN95 would be a daily and I'd like to say I'm maxed out at about $8,000 but would like to make a clean, tastefully modded example, I don't need to win races, someones always going to be faster but I want a car I can drive, it looks nice I can count on it, mod as I drive and in the end someone sees it and says "wow thats clean" and sees that it was taken care of. -Heads -Valves -SOHC vs DOHC -4 barrel vs 2 barrel (obv doesnt pertain to an SN95 Cobra but still good V8 knowledge -Why or why not (would a 94-95 Cobra be better because of the 5.0 vs 96+ only having a 4.6L) Can somone break down what is better and why in each of these and some stuff I might be missing? Without flaming or any of that crap. I'm not a stranger to fast cars just V8 lingo and concepts as a whole. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
