Cobra jet 5.0 if I'm not mistaken Stephen offered to talk and explain them to you. I'd give him a call. After you could determine if his was for you. As he has knowledge on the different combos being involved with them for some years. Best luck on your decision when you iron it out and get your own.

Up near the top of this page is a link to Nhra Competition, press that, then on the left side of the page that comes up, look for stock car classification, then you can go to 2008 to 2014 ford engine -mustang cobra jet combinations. George Wright and Jimmy Ronzello built Roberts car and you can find pictures at 9500rpm.com under shop projects.

The naturally aspirated combination is really good. Ford only built three of them in 2013. I'm not sure if any of the 2014 cars were built that way.

If you are thinking about purchasing a car that requires a license, it would be wise to make sure that you can pass the physical first. I only say this because you had quit racing for 10 years, and sold a business, leading me to believe that you may be older. Not being cynical, just trying to help.

No I'm not older. I am only 48 just worked very hard from the time I was 17. I have no wife or kids. I did very well with my business and was able to sell it and retire at a fairly young age. Plus I am in very good shape for a guy 48. I never smoked and drink very little and I watch what I eat and work out. Plus I already have a valid NHRA License. Made sure I kept it up to date.

Robert Hindman's car is a 2012 built by George Wright and Jimmy Ronzillo.

NA combinations
2010;
4.6 3v modular that uses the Mustang GT shortblock, FRPP CNC Mustang GT heads, FRPP intake and FRPP cams.(Charles Downing runs one)
352ci pushrod based off of the FRPP crate engine. It uses the 302 Windsor block.(several out there and is one of more attractive factored combos Sam Tufano, brian Wolfe, holbrook, the Richards crew)
428ci pushrod basses off of the FRPP crate engine. It uses the 351 Windsor based block. (Several out there also Roger Cook, Chris Holbrook, Richards crew)

2012;
5.0 coyote modular. Uses Mustang GT heads, cams and intake. Pistons have a little more compression then the factory Mustang GT(Robert Hindman's)


2013
5.0 coyote engine. Uses Boss 302 heads, FRPP Cams and intake and the higher compression Pistons from the 2012.(platt, Charles Downing)
Pushrod combos more revisions and 363/427(Richards group, Bo Butner)

2014:
Carry over from 13 except for pushrod is now a d3 head 429 with FRPP intake(cook, Bo Butner)

Now do you want to build a combo or buy a turn key model? Do you want a turn key from Ford Racing or one some one built? What's your preference on maintenance and ET?

There are factory VIN car combos in the guide also but aren't factored as favorably as the Factory Cobra Jet combos.
