Wiring completed, motor removal beginning

Good news, today the wheels arrived!



The rears are 17x11! The car will have a lot of traction..


The nostalgic wheels look like the original cobra's, but they have a much larger diameter of 17 inches to clear the big brakes, and they'll look better too.


Not sure I've ever seen a wheel that wide on a street car.. Dodge Viper's are probably the same width.




Finally finished removing the engine wiring harness and labeling! No more wires to remove! I also removed any remaining coolant, a/c and power steering hoses to the motor. After disconnecting a few other misc. items like the cruise, accelerator and clutch linkage, we're about ready to pull the motor and trans. All that needs to be done is to loosen the motor and trans mounts and disconnect the exhaust and driveshaft!



I left what wires I could still connected to the motor to make things easier once in the cobra. We're about ready to pull the motor and trans now, so the build is very close I promise! By the end of this month we should be putting things in the cobra..
