Back to the 3.5L V6 Chrysler... It looks like you can use the whole package, engine and transmission and controller. If it's only 250 HP, live with it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/334532649395

I have the same questions. I talked to Fran at RCR a few years ago about putting the new Corvette DCT into his GT40s. He said that it was too long to fit properly. I need to ask him about the new R8/Lambo 7-speed DCT. It looks smaller and there are adapters for LS engines. We just need to know...

What year is the transmission? Have you considered the new dual-clutch automatics? I have a bad leg and would like to build GT40 with two pedals.

Hi, Long time lurker, retired IT, Atlanta area, kit Cobra owner, with a bum leg requiring an automatic.

Re. Ceramic piston coatings. They also cause heat to migrate to the outside of the top of the piston, then down the sides to the top ring. It expands considerably which can be cata$trophic. Don't ask me how I know... Use only under adult supervision.

Vent is outside the trunk above the rear end. I have been trying to seal the trunk for years. The only thing there is the battery and fuel inlet hose. I changed the hose from 1 piece to 2 pieces w/ steel between them but that isn't much better. The cookies were hard to eat, they still tasted...

2 inch "Fuel Hose" from NAPA (OR ONE OF THE OTHER AUTO SUPPLIES) doesn't leak but gas vapors go thru it. Nothing like clothes smelling like fuel after a trip or high octane cookies. Will anyone guarantee their recommendation?

Re: Charging the AC I know this guy - I lived 10 miles away - bought R22a from him. He has good prices on gauges, vacuum pumps, etc. Also stop leak and synthetic oil (better performance/economy) for your home system (they work). I recommend all of them. I wish he had product for the new home...

Ceramic exhaust (inside and out), lowers under hood temps and increases turbo boost and responsiveness. Ceramic coated combustion chambers increase combustion speed and reduce heat load on the water and oil but will decrease top ring gaps. Coatings on the oil pump innards will reduce oil temps...

For the 5HP24, there is a wiring diagram and pin assignments for the TCU are on the web. I need to find one for the 6HP26. All that is really needed is the engine RPM signal, TPS, and shifter wires as many inputs are inside the tranny. The console shifter, paddles and dash display would be...

Hi, all. I have been a lurker for a while, planning my next project - an all weather street thriller with AC. I am a retired programmer and built a Shell Valley Cobra many years ago. FFR was on their 3rd car when I started. I like autocross and track days, with an occasional drag race day. I...

How about a Puma? (or a similar body on the SLC)

"Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R radials in 26x12.00R15 and 26x10.00R15" I tried to take a picture but the garage is too dark - you will have to wait till tomorrow. I posted some to my album.

Hi, I'm a rookie and this is my first post. On my Cobra, I run Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R radials in 26x12.00R15 and 26x10.00R15. They are about 1/4 inch shorter than the original 26.5x10x15 and 26.5x8x15 but they have the same tread width and section width. They look good, hook up well, and...
