Thanks, and that's a great looking coupe as well. Nice choice of wheels; that's the first '65-6 I've seen with late-model Mach 1 wheels, and they certainly look sharp.

My induction setup is basically the same setup used on many of the Shelby American 289 competition Cobras in the early-mid '60s, and was available separately through the Shelby parts catalog for Mustangs back in the day. It consists of four Weber 48 IDA downdraft carburetors feeding into an individual-runner manifold. Regarding the actual specs of it, I have a Weber-specific custom cam from CompCams, and after dyno tuning ended up going with 145 main jets, 70 idle, 150 air correctors, and F7 emulsion tubes.

I've seen a few of those setups. They are big $$$$$$.

Your car is gorgeous.:rockon:

There is a thread somewhere on here that shows the whole build of that car by the builder.

The Julian brothers' shop is actually just a couple miles from me, and Wayne did some of the work on my '65. They definitely do great work, and I know had another insane '65 Coupe drag-car project in the works, but I haven't made it over there in awhile to know that car's current status. Regarding the SN65...I'd consider it a modified '03 or '04 Cobra rather than the other way around, though. The entire chassis is late-model.
