LS6 Crate engine

Gasoline

This car gets a lot of attention both on the street and at shows. I have put many upgrades into the car during its construction. It also has some brushed aluminum LS6 fender badges just to keep the Ford purists on their toes. Here is a list of the things the car has. The car is a very fast and easy to drive street car. I built this for my wife as she could not drive a manual transmission. It has new Goodyear drag radials on it to keep my wife from getting into trouble. The car handles and drives excellent and with the 2300 pound wieght it moves out really well. • 1965 AC Cobra West Coast Cobra replica Kit car with 985 miles on since completion • Titled as a 1965 Cobra replica. • New LS6 Chevrolet Crate engine with zero miles when installed. • New 4L65E automatic trans from GM. Upgraded with red alto parts to handle 600 hp. • New GM Drive by wire throttle and pedal assembly • New GM alternator and bracket • All new Painless wiring harness for engine and new harness for the remainder of car • PTC 3200 Stall lock up torque converter with Hi efficiency trans cooler and trans temp gauge • Comp Cam XR281HR camshaft, nice lope and easy to drive. • Dana 44 Rear end with Jaguar IRS with new rear calipers • Jaguar front suspension with new Wilwood calipers • Koni Shocks all around • In tank Aeromotive 340 fuel pump • Real cherrywood dashboard with Autometer C2 Cobalt blue back light gauges.

Did a top notch profession job by a major local auto restoration and repair shop. They also painted the custom Corvette finned rail covers the same color as the car. • Car weighs 2350 pounds The car runs and drives great and gets great fuel mileage. I built it for my wife to drive and it was recently completed. The automatic trans makes it easy to drive for anyone and is a great cruiser that can be taken anywhere. It has a brand new from GM engine and transmission that perform flawlessly and will provide thousands of trouble free miles of fun. The car has ceramic coated custom headers that connect to period correct chrome side pipes. This car get attention wherever it goes and is very popular with both young and old alike. With the modern fuel injected engine and overdrive trans it can be driven anywhere and is very reliable and fun.On Sep-23-12 at 15:36:43 PDT, seller added the following information: I installed PAC 1580 valve springs and .080 wall chrome moly pushrods when i did the cam install. I also ported the stock oil pump and added a shim to increase oil pressure when I had the pump off for the camshaft install. The car sounds mean at idle and drives very easily with the looser converter and camshaft.On Sep-23-12 at 19:56:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Car does not run hot even on the hottest of days as it has a great radiator and the fan is computer controlled. The high efficiency trans cooler keeps tranny temps cool even with the higher stall converter. The car has 3.31 gear in the rear end which with the converter and lower 1st gear ratio of the transmission works perfectly in this light of a car.On Sep-24-12 at 19:46:10 PDT, seller added the following information: If you type "LS6 Cobra" into Google you can see some commentary from different forums as I was building this car. There is also a short video of me running the car from about 20 mph to about 90 mph at our 4500 ft. elevation. This car should be an easy 10 second car at sea level. I have had several comments on how straight the body is and several people at car shows have said that it is the straightest Cobra body that they have ever seen. The shop that did the body and paint are well known for thier excellent work. The Paint is GM code 89U.
