Is the tick coming from just one cylinder? If so it may be a rod knock and the rod bearing is toast. I had a POS '82 GMC Sierra S-15 (Yeah I know it's a GM but it was $50!) with a rod knock and it sound almost like a diesel engine. Is this what the Cobra is doing? Even if the engine is blown $10K is a good deal since you can but a brand new Cobra crate engine from Ford for $3995 meaning total cost is only aroung $15K for the car.
