Nice old Cobra for a 1976.Exhaust risers look like they could use another spacer or 2 in them.Almost looks like the hoses are running uphill.Maybe its an illusion in the picture , but it looks like a canidate for hydrolocking with that little bit of drop in the exhaust.Nice boat .just trying to prevent problems a buddy of mine had a boat that would hydrolock all the time because of this .

Thanks! ... It seems to be in pretty decent shape .. the interior is all Brand new. Yep .. That whole exhaust is coming off. I already got one side Off .. Were putting in Full Hardin Marine system that is double Jacketed right to the tip of the exhaust about 8" through the outside of the transom.

I cant find pix of them on the internet so Ill take some of them tommorow. Its like an aluminum 1 peice Manifold that has the risor built in then you bolt on the straight Stainless Tail Pipe to that and connect the hose there.

[QUOTE=djmadmatt;2664844]I took these pix today at John Montgomery's House. Were waiting for some new stuff from Tyler Crockett.

Your Cobra looks GREAT much better than the one I have. When you see John tell him Mark from EASTERN EXPRESS said Hi. We had some great times when our boats were racing, and with the Silver Cup Series.

Hi Mark ... Yeah, John was saying he knew you. I will Tell him tommorow you said "Hi". I really wish I would have been around in the old race race days. John has told me some crazy stories and I've seen some incredible videos.

Let's get these Cobra's runnin top knotch again!!

I found out today from John that the Exhaust System is the Hardin P1000. Its completely dry till 1" from exit.

Jammin'

That ought to get some attention.

We had to cut the Flanges Off because they wernt centered in the holes in the Transom. We got them all Mocked up and Tacked. Ive got a Friend welding them up Tommorow.

I might just have to build a 540ci Twin Turbo Motor for it this winter. I'll keep my 454 so If I ever decide to sell it, I can put the 454 Back in it. Sounds like some fun to me!


<------ I made a new Logo since getting an original may be hard. What's everone think?

Looks good, I still have hope Emerald City may find one.
