I am trying to help an ERA Cobra owner find a good shop that knows its way around FE engines, and Cobra Roadsters.
He lives in Mequon, WI which is about 20 miles North of Milwaukee, WI.

A certified shop would be best, but an honest enthusiast who actually knows what they are doing is good too.

Thanks for any and all helpful information.

At this time there is no specific work needed.
He is simply thinking ahead because he owns a dual quad, 427FE, 4spd toploader Cobra...and they require maintenance from time to time.
