Aluminum Body Cobra
If you are looking for the best of the best in performance and quality then look no further! This 1965 Shelby Cobra with Polished Aluminum Body Making 700+ Horse Power is designed and built in the true spirit and tradition of the original cobra. Just as Carol Shelby designed his original 427 Cobra, our car is built for modern endurance racing, integrity and speed. We have an exclusive deal with RYR out of Mooresville, NC to provide top of the line, state of the art Nacsar engines for our cars. Nowhere on the planet will you find another Cobra like this one.
Warranty
We provide a Two year unlimited mileage warranty on parts and labor. Quick jacks to Quick jacks. After warranty expires, any repairs or upgrades, parts and labor will be done at cost.
Frame
Just as the original Shelby Cobra, the the frame has a round tube ladder design, but with thicker steel to ensure the strength and longevity of the frame. The frame is made from round tube with 4" round 0.120" wall DOM main frame rails. In keeping with the tradition of a stronger frame, each piece is TIG welded together. TIG welding allows for a stronger, cleaner weld. The billet aluminum independent suspension is bolted directly to mounting points on the frame. This stiffer suspension allows for the driver to have more control of the car. The stronger frame that the suspension is mounted to does not allow for much chassis flex and makes the car's handling more predictable. Original style pedals, catches and fittings. Original style shifter and hand brake lever. Stainless steel roll bar, chassis mounted. Side and rear view mirrors.
Body
The body comes as a polished aluminum body with matching aluminum hood scoop. It also comes with a mirror polished 321 stainless steel roll bar, billet 6061 aluminum jack hooks, front brake scoops, mirror polished stainless steel foot box heat shields, and billet 6061 aluminum ferrules.
Interior
The interior of the Cobra comes with New Zealand lambswool carpet. The steering wheel is a Moto-Lita wood steering wheel. The Cobra also comes with a leather wrapped dash and a driver's-side fresh air vent system. Leather bucket seats, vintage gauges, and a billet 304L stainless steel Tremec shifter finish off the interior of the Cobra quite nicely.
800 HP Nascar Racing Engine
- The Block - $5800.00
All new Ford racing SVO Block. Cast iron block with 4-bolt main caps and strengthened structural sections. Custom splayed billet steel main caps. Can be bored/stroked to produce 434 cu. in. Siamese cylinder bores Bore range from 4.000-4.180" Dry sump oiling design 2.248" main journal diameter (stock 302 size) Weighs approximately 190 lbs. For professional competition (NASCAR) Prepped and finished by top NASCAR race team. Most blocks are not as strong as this block, and do not have near the prep work or machining. Most have 2 bolt mains instead of 4 bolt, cast caps instead of billet and don’t have the reinforcement to not have a core shift or movement in high RPMs unlike our block that is built to withstand high RPM and HP loads. - Crankshaft - $3200.00
Forged billet ultralight crankshaft. Many of the cranks in crate engines are cast and that makes them only 1/3 as strong as the billet crank. - Bearings
For a long time, bearings were so good that there was little need for improvement," he says. "The Clevite 77 TriMetal(R) bearing line was the standard of the industry in its various configurations. Performance engine builders specified preferred clearances to their crank grinder, double-checked them, and focused their attention and creativity elsewhere. But as other components improved, such as low-tension rings, which approached the limits of reduced friction, engine builders began to look at the crankshaft/bearing interface. This became another area to be explored for further reducing friction. - Rods - $3100.00
Ultralight billet steel connecting rods. Most are cast forged which again makes them not strong or able to stand up to high load engine cycles whereas ours are billet which are much more precisely machined and with all billet components comes a much tighter grain structure and over all strength of the metal. - Wrist Pins - $2000.00 titanium pins
- Pistons - $2100.00
MAHLE gives you a competitive edge with pistons that are perfectly prepared when you take them put of the box. MAHLE machines the correct valve reliefs, dome profiles and ring grooves for competition. They fit the pins with proper clearances, then inspect and hand deburr every piston. Plus, with factory-applied phosphate and Grafel skirt coatings, you eliminate the expense and uncertainty of aftermarket coatings. All MAHLE ProSeries Pistons are forged from MSP25/2618 allow unless otherwise noted. - Cam - $2200.00 Custom ground billet solid roller cam. Custom solid rollerlifters. Double Tapered Push Rods: These offer more overall strength, extra cylinder head clearance, lighter weight tapered design allows for a stronger, larger diameter pushrod without an overall weight penalty.
- Timing Chain
-Timing chain and billet gear set - Heads
Ford Motorsport (SVO) Yates heads are designed for a max effort racing engine. CNC Ported and prepped by top NASCAR team. Copper Beryllium valve seats. CNC billet steel exhaust flanges. These head flow more air for maximum engine efficiency. - Intake
Latest Ford Motor Sports Yates intake match ported and polished - Valves - $2000.00 per set
All valves are completely CNC machined and precision ground. All critical dimensions of the valves are controlled 100% for visual and dimensional aspects before shipment. Del West applies in-house developed thermally sprayed coatings to protect against wear on the stem. The tip of the valve is protected by either the insertion of a steel tip or with a thermally sprayed coating. Del West can apply thin film coatings such as Physical and Chemical Vapor Deposition (PVD, CVD). These types of coatings include Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC), Titanium Nitride (TiN), and Chromium Nitride (CrN). They are recommended to be applied to any surface of a component where increased wear protection and extended service are required. A Del West engineer can help guide you on the performance benefits to applying these coatings. 100% traceability on all components from receipt of material to shipment of product is maintained at Del West. The lower mass of the titanium valves combined with the matching Del West keepers (locks, cotters) and spring retainers allow for the use of higher RPM and more aggressive cam profiles without the loss of valve control. This results in the development of broader torque curves with increased horsepower and higher RPM and power numbers. Most valves in performance engines are stainless steel which will limit RMP potential and increase the likelihood of a valve train failure when racing Del west titanium retainers and locks Aerospace quality titanium 100% CNC machined for unparalleled tolerance control and surface finish Precision ID bore control for proper valve stem to keeper contact Close taper angle control for proper keeper to retainer contact The result is a superior valve stem to keeper to retainer assembly. When the fit is correct, there is no relative motion in the assembly. This results in less wear and an extended service life of the components. - Valve Springs - racing triple valve springs
