OK...I got a lot of bites from E-bay and a ton of lookers. Obviously I did not sell the Talon. I am getting ready to put in a new set of ARP Head bolts and a new head gasket, and then I want to move it.
I am now willing to lower the price for this priceless race car to $6,500. Before I post it up for sale nationally, I wanted to offer it up to any DSMCentral members first. Anyone got the funds for a fabulous car? -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

You're giving the car away at that price.
If you decide not to trade to Dan, then lets talk.

Cash in hand is always better than speculatory appreciation.

Very nice car. Wish I had the money to take it off your hands. Course if Kris buys it I could "take care of it" for him while he's in Europe...
Edit: Just read back a little, that Cobra motor sounds awesome. Wish I had the $$ to put on into mine, course after the top end upgrade the 5.0 isn't goin anywhere. Maybe I'll sell this one when it's done and build another "true" King Cobra... (03-04 Cobra Motor and Cobra IRS) -------------------- 1978 Mustang II King Cobra

So far all sales have fallen through, but I haven't tried anymore than you see in this thread.
I did finally get a chance to pull the head tonight to replace the Head gasket and ARP studs. I found a very small 1/4" to 3/8" trace from cylinder #1 to a water jacket that verifies why my coolant was always lightly pressurized and more than often in the overflow tank. So I'll clean the surfaces and reinstall with the new components on Friday so I can bring it to the cook-out on Sunday. I also found that my solid turbo to manifold gasket had broken in half. Luckily I've got a brand new 7cm gasket ready to use. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

I don't think it's any better. A while back we had a conversation about this and someone mentioned that the header on your EVO may be making the big difference in spool-up. I tend to believe this has something to do with it.
