| I agree with you Allen, that these are repro's. The Cobra's came with a closed valve cover (no vent caps), that was the tall pentroof style. I was fortunate enough to be in the car that was in the movie "The Gumball Rally" and that is what was on that car, plus many others that I saw. That car had a Med riser with a sidewinder on it. In reference to an "R" ( I think he means SC) car remember that the induction was a full ram air with an air box surrounding the carb. In an earlier post I saw the question of differences in a 428 vs 427 car. From memory a 427 was used with top oiler and low riser quads with box/log manifolds. If you opted for the SC then you got the side oiler with a single four barrel, headers and other goodies. The 428 P.I. was used with a set of C-3-J head castings and a medium riser intake, and put out 390 horespower with the 306 cam that was stock in a P.I. Twenty five years ago I had a friend with a towing service, and he had brought in a destroyed 65 Cobra that had sat in a creek bed for ten years. I pulled it apart and was suprised to find the same cast crank that was in my Hi-Risers. Being all original with that in a side oiler block to boot, I never figured that one out. They did some mighty strange things back then. |
