Worked on the engine

We finished up the trunk and started on the engine yesterday. Nice looking rockers:
The new valve cover on top, OEM on bottom:
And installed:
Back in the good ol' days, Cobra roadsters featured "Powered by Ford" on all their racing parts so they could get the brand out and compete with other manufactures like Ferrari.
We got the wrong water pump, so couldn't install that. We also ran into a problem with the intake manifold gaskets, so I guess Dad will sort all that out. Transmission won't be here till next month, but the car is nearly ready for the engine. See ya later!
