Is there an issue running a 7" full length pan in the Mangusta? Some seem to think there would be, especially with a 6" pan?

The mention of the 6" Daytonna Coupe pan was only recently discovered by me on the Aviaid web page.

Is the Cobra pan full length or 3/4? Hum? I have to look.

It may have been mentioned in the discussions of the details of the original Coupes by Kopec but if it was, it had no significance to me until I read this thread.

The low clearance issue I remember from the original road test articles of the car. One of the magazines must have bottomed out on it when they tested the car and the others picked up on it.

I seem to remember reading something about the car having a skid plate.

I don't remember there being an issue with the starter and an extended pan but I never had anything like a race Cobra that would have used one. Just T pans in Mustangs.

Personally I don't think a Boss 302 is the way to go either with that car.

I think a stroker kit is light years better in the original block and if anything maybe period "correct" 69 351w heads on the original block?

Better headers would seem to be in order too?
