Are all SVT hand-built?

[Mirage775]

Since I'm new with owning a Cobra, this is a smart question, but a stupid person asking it? Are all Cobra's hand-built? :doubt: Do all of them have a plate under the hood that says they were hand-built? If so, where is it? Mine's a 97.., if that helps? So sorry if this is a noob question, I was just curious?

Thanks

I'm sure someone will currect me if I am wrong, but the Cobra's began having hand built engines in them with the dawn of the 4.6 DOHC Cobra engine in 1996.

They had the stickers on them with the 2 engine builders names on them on the passenger side valve cover... which later (in 98 or 99) was revised to be a etched plate that didn't come off or get ruined as easily as the sticker.

That's cool, I wish mine had the plate...:rolleyes:

do you still have the sticker or did it fall off?

It might be worth while to call 1-800-Ford-SVT and see if they can send you a replacement plate :dunno:
