[QUOTE="cobra186, post: 4351046, member: 6221"] The previous owner said the motor broke a valve spring. The original rearend is still with the car. It would be easy to reassemble a stock drivetrain back to oem specs.. parts are everywhere. If the original block is not available they could take any old 5.0 block and make it #s matching....just like all the "#s matching" muscle cars that are sold today. Restamping is so common now days. The article states they plan to take the car drag racing, road racing, daily driven often. The car will not stay nice if used like that. I mean the leather is perfect and will like chit within a years time if thats the case. I sold my 8900 mile cobra for this reason. The car was perfect and brought good money as a roller. I then bought a clean 30k mile theft recovery (salvage title) roller that I will modify and not ruin a perfect original. The guy I sold my car to has restored the car back to original and no one would be able to tell the car was ever apart. [/QUOTE]
