Cobra Autox Engine

Super Cool! That is one healthy FE motor no doubt. Curious what brand roller lifter broke, and what brand you are using to replace it? Always dug the FE motors since they had the distributors in the front and shaft rockers like any well engineered engine should, hee hee.

I had older model comps, replaced with GS-875 (8620) light weight, the engine was about 6 years old and I should have changed lifters and springs but thought I could get 1 more event in, Wrong. We looked at the Iskandarian bushing lifters but could not find anybody with enough experience with them to make a decision so went with the Comp stuff which has a better steel in the axle now. Even considered the larger diameter rebuildable cup lifters but availability at the time and reboring all the lifter bores to larger diameter killed that idea.
I use individual T$D rockers on raised port Blue thunder heads rather than a single shaft, but the distributor is still in the front where it should be.
