So the story begins with me picking up a nearly spotless and rust free rio-red 97 cobra. Found the car on craigslist having a motor noise. With as clean as the car is, couldnt pass it up. For 3200 $ I loaded the car onto the trailer and brought it home. After a removed valve cover and a decent amount of tinkering, I decided I was better off pulling the motor to get a better idea of what is going on. My plans are to use the stock forged crank(possibly kellog if funds allow), manley h-beams and mahle 18cc pistons, minor head work and shortened runner intake with imrc deletes. The big part of the project will be installing the 80mm single turbo. I will update as progress is made. For now, here are some of the latest progress pictures.
