[DeTomaso] New Engine

[Jim Gray]

All:

I bought my turn-key 351C crate motor from Southern Automotive just outsider
Atlanta after I had seen several people on the Cobra kit car forum say how
happy they were with their work.  The only down side has been that the
aluminum water pump failed after just a few hundred miles.  Otherwise
everything runs great for over two years now.

The cost was reasonable too for a street engine.

YMMV
