CSX3102 has a convoluted history. It was originally sold as a 427 street roadster, but was seriously damaged in a collision by the first owner. The...

Absolutely, Try to find the cam card, or look up the cam number on the manufacturers web site, and it will tell you what springs you need.

In my opinion the Crower lifters are the best. After using other, and breaking off the rollers, I called Crower and was assured I'd wouldn't have...

Bingo. Different cam with same springs. That is the problem. I think Jack and I can agree on that.

Yes, smaller lifts, less duration.

When they rebuilt the engine, did they change the cam?

I've always wondered about that 198mph. Was it in a drafting situation? Was it calculated from handheld stopwatch readings? Or are there dozens...

Kerry, In 1966 Dick Smith hit 198.6 MPH in his 1966 427 Cobra at a Daytona race. I have seen the car several times since he passed and it was at...

Here's some more info for us, and all the questions in your replies are good. The lifters are solid rollers, Crower bushed. These springs are...

Never use old springs with a new cam......

What I found was if you used old springs with a new cam with more lift, the springs would fail. Just my experience. But that's okay. I still like...

Have you ever had the corner weights set on your Cobra? I spent a lot of time and money on the handling of my Cobra and I could definitely tell a...

Well, I'd had "hoped" not to offend anybody with my original post. (*T Am I one of those arrogant attitudes? (honest question) IME, I have Google...

The I spring gets more of a workout than the E spring. The I has more lift and duration. By swapping you're giving the I spring a "rest" and the E...

Times 2!!!!

When I first bought my Hurricane was on CC a lot . I learned a lot from that forum and other websites . I have owned my car now for 10 years now and...

David - first off glad you found that. Did the main coil break or was it an inner spring, and are all the pieces accounted for? I have seen the flat...

Damn Mark, when I first started reading that I thought you were referring to this site until I got to the end of the comment. And I totally agree...

Well David, for the most part I agree with Jack but I would want to know what caused a spring to break after 3000 miles. They should be good for much...

I'd probably buy a new set of springs. If you have the cam card, it will tell you what spring pressure, open and close, and installed height. If...

Nice video. If I was picking up what it was putting down, a 550 HP roadster will reach 180 MPH with proper gearing? That surprised me.

Sundude, Have you seen CSX3281 it was here locally, completely restored put up for sale and now it's not listed but did not see it hit a auction?
