https://bringatrailer.com/listing/cobra-engine-and-transmission-2/This Ford 289ci Hi-Po V8 and Borg-Warner T10 four-speed transmission were removed from a 1963 Shelby Cobra, chassis CSX2085. The seller sold CSX2085 a few years ago with a race-spec engine and gearbox installed, and this drivetrain has resided in his private collection since. Savannah Race Engineering rebuilt the engine to street specifications at a cost of $29k in 2016, at which point a set of Italian-made Weber carburetors were installed along with a matching Cobra intake manifold and an aluminum oil sump. The included Borg-Warner transmission was also pulled from CSX2085 and retains a Cobra bellhousing. This Shelby Cobra engine and gearbox are now being offered in Solebury, Pennsylvania.
The block wears a C40E casting number and a pair of 1964 cylinder heads. A new reproduction Hi-Po camshaft and flat-tappet lifters were installed during the rebuild, along with an original-stroke crankshaft, forged connecting rods, and forged pistons. The engine reportedly produced 350 horsepower on Savannah Race Engineering’s dyno following break-in.
Four Italian-made Weber 48IDA were sourced in 2016 and are mounted atop a Cobra intake manifold. A Cobra cast aluminum water neck, MSD distributor, and alternator are also included. Oil is held in an eight-quart Aviaid aluminum sump.
The included Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed gearbox, shift linkage, and Cobra bellhousing were also removed from CSX2085.
