1966 Shelby Cobra on 2040-cars
Harrison, Tennessee, United States
First and foremost this is a REPLICA. I have had several and this is by far the nicest, best looking, most
detailed, and best driving example to date. The build started with an early (pre-merger) MidStates fiberglass body
and chassis, built before the Shell Valley merger. The paint, panel gaps, and overall quality of this car are top
notch without the squeaks, rattles, and other characteristics of lesser builds. The underside of the car is
painted in most places and extremely nice as well. This car is well sorted out, has the best of everything
available at the time of the build, and will turn more heads than most exotics. It is an absolute animal when you
want it to be, but has really good street manners for a 600+ hp 427 stuffed inside a 2000 lbs car.
It is titled as a 1965 Ford and has a clean title,
ENGINE- This car features a true, Serial #CSX495, all aluminum FE, Shelby motor. The engine has a Scat stroker
crank, Oliver billet rods, Wiseco pistons, Edelbrock Performer FE ported heads, Edelbrock 427 victor Victor intake,
and Ferrea stainless racing valves. A massive King Demon 795 carburetor sits on top of it all. The engine made
580HP/586ft lbs on pump gas. This thing sounds like a cross between a Nascar, a Harley, and a top fuel dragster
and is extremely angry.
Transmission- Tremec TKO road race 5-speed transmission with mid-shift shifter position. Lakewood bell housing,
Mcloed clutch, pressure plate, and hydraulic throw out bearing.
Rear End- 9" Ford, custom narrowed with Moser axels, richmond ring and pinion (3.73), and Strange Limited Slip
differential.
Suspension- 4-Link suspension set up with adjustable Alden shocks and coil-overs.
Brakes/Misc- Wilwood disc up front, 1980 Trans Am rotors with Cadillac disc in back. Wilwood portioning valve,
and Ford brake booster and master cylinder. All brake and hard fuel lines are stainless.
Appearance/Other- The car features 15" Halibrand style knockoff replicas (5 lug) with 235/60-15s in the front and
295/50-15s in the rear. The wipers, all lights, heater, and all gauges work like intended. The dash features an
MSD timing control knob.

2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Fri, 26 Jul 2013Up until now, it's been some years since I managed to get behind the wheel of the hot Mustangs tuned by the folks at Roush Performance. My memories of those vehicles are fond, as the Roush up-fits usually make for better-driving examples of the iconic Ford pony, with better-tuned suspensions, excellent short-shift kits and, of course, huge additions of power. The wake-your-neighbors aural characteristics of these cars have been nothing short of outstanding, too.
But in the years since my last experience with the Roush formula, Ford's own development team has churned out some pretty potent 'Stangs. We currently live in a world where the Blue Oval will sell you a Mustang with 662 horsepower from the factory, and the recently departed Boss 302 remains one of the best Mustangs - and best sports coupes - the Autoblog crew has ever driven.
So with great-driving and hugely powerful Mustangs coming straight off the line at Ford's Flat Rock Assembly Plant, does the Roush package still offer that extra special something to make it stand out? I spent a week with a Stage 3 coupe to find out.
V6 engines will outpace V8s for the 2015 Ford F-150
Wed, 23 Jul 2014How times have changed. Even five years ago, who would have thought the mighty V8 would be just another engine choice for buyers of the 2015 Ford F-150?
Ford is projecting about 28 percent of the next-generation trucks will have the 5.0-liter V8. That's nothing to sneeze at, but consider this: Ford figures its two EcoBoost truck engines - the new 2.7-liter V6 and the existing 3.5-liter V6 - will also each account for about 28 percent of the F-150's sales (56 percent total). That leaves only 15 percent of the pie for the 3.5-liter (non-EcoBoost) V6. The new F-150 goes on sale late this year.
