289 On The Dyno
On a rainy spring day Cobra Automotive sent me to there Dyno shop in Conneticut to record one of there customer 289 small block Fords. As it turned out the engine on the Dyno was the very same engine that was in to be installed in John Brices GT350, the one you hear on the GT350 track. Recording went really well with the little 289 putting out well over 500 brake horse power and sounding fantastic. Cobra Automotive produces great engines. Race or street,they make huge hp and are very reliable.
