OH YEAH, that Melling T bird mentioned earlier in the thread that AwsomeBill ran 213 with at Talladega - just for trivia's sake - that engine is now resting between the front wheels of a Unique Motorcars Cobra roadster in Gadsden Alabama. If you think that a 3700lb Tbird was a beast with that kind of engine, you oughta catch a ride in a 1975lb Cobra with that power plant! I've told my life long friends, the Weavers (owners and operators of Unique Motorcars) that Cobras are simply outlaw sprint cars with a fiberglass body and no wing on top!
By the way, the restrictor plate HAS BEEN REMOVED from the engine in the Cobra!
