We drove about 24 hours straight to the outskirts of Orlando and back to pick this 96 Cobra up. I only have one picture that I got on the trip so far, but I'll try and grab some better ones sometime today.

It makes 460rwhp with the stock blower pulley (somewhere between 6 and 8 psi). My plans so far are heads/cams, blower pulley, and I'm going rethink the exhaust to free up some power since I don't have to worry about emissions.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it's fun to drive. Made it 13 hours from Orlando-area to Tenn/Alabama state line, has cruise control and heat/air so I was happy with that. Opened it up in third at 60 and it got sideways a bit on the 285s, haven't gotten on it besides that really because I'm kinda afraid to until I get some bigger tires. Completely different powerband than I'm used to with the turbo'd Starions so I'll have to adjust to that as well. The entire way back I was thinking how awesome this drivetrain would be swapped in a Starion.
