I took pics but I don’t know how to make them smaller so I can’t post them yet The engine is so covered with everything it’s hard to even see the valve covers except on the drivers side It doesn’t seem to have any oil smoke from the exhaust and I’m hoping it won’t in the future but I’ve only...

Thanks for the reply I’m a retired diesel wrench and do know my way around an engine Just not familiar with fords, there’s so much stuff and wires and such on the engine I can barely see the valve covers I remember my buddy’s 1990 Arizona highway patrol notch back had those cast valve covers...

I was given a 94 GT Vert by family friends, it had been stored on their land for 6 months but 2-1/2 years later they got tired of looking at it and did the paperwork to dispose of it as the owner could not be found They knew I own a 98 Cobra Vert so asked if I wanted it, i pulled the battery...

Thank you so much, I've been gone for awhil due to a family illness and am getting back into working on the car today. Thought I'd try one last time to find an answer before sending the chip back but I will do that if any more mods on the engine take place. I lowered the car and did lots of...

Oh well, due to the lack of an answer and the fact that it took me 10 minutes to get to this post due to the constant hijacking here to "über eats" (8 times) I won't be back anytime soon. They fixed the search function but if you can't keep the site from being hijacked then it becomes unuseful...

465 to the wheels?, wow, in a car this small I can imagine sideways is the norm, she must be a handful sometimes. I'd go for that much power but at 57 YO I just don't have the need any longer, the car is so nice I want to hand the keys to my Son in that condition, if I start building more power...

Ok I checked them, they are 1/4 inch thick, 4-11/16 wide and have a center diameter of 3-7/16 inch, they fit inside the front upper iso's which will fit over the top of the rear spring as they seem to be the same diameter, and yes I checked so they will work. If you want them and pay for...

The Prothane iso's I picked up for my car were about normal factory thickness, but the new Steeda X2 Balljoints came with an aluminum spacer that would negate the Balljoints 1/2 lowering amount that's built into them when used with the iso's up front. It may be that they can be used with the...

I just spent 15 minutes answering a question from a member, answers , tips, tools needed, etc. Then when I tried to post it I get the "Are you a robot" crap, I did the required task, hit enter, and waited, And waited, and waited. It locked up my phone and erased the post I'd just spent...

Fog light switch mod for 1998 Cobra?, it works! I found two videos on utube that had the info on modding the wiring leading to the fog light switch so you could run them without the headlights on. One done by a bunch of swearing useless tards that hadn't even got to the subject after five...

Found a 95 GT Vert being parted a mile from my house today, took a look and it was purchased to be a donor for a 50 ford pickup. I got a few smalls from it but it has what I think is the FR500 steering wheel, it looks just like the one in my 98 Cobra in that it's 15 inches wide and leather...

I was cleaning my interior and pulled the fog light switch to clean around the bezel, as I pulled it out the switch disassembled itself and the guts fell inside the console. Anyone had this happen to them and/or does anyone know if there's an exploded view of the switch on the net? I was...

Who makes the best weld-in torque box re-inforcements for the 1998 or 1996 on up Cobra?. My Cobra is getting a set of MM weld-in subframe connectors and the Kenny Brown "X" subframe to jacking rail pieces installed this fall, I also want stout torque box plates installed at the same time...

READ ENTIRE POST BEFORE REMOVING BUSHINGS. Ok, so after finding that ALL 96-98 Cobras use the "Hydro" style bushings I ordered mine from Prothane and set about to remove my old ones. This relates to the front control arm only as the upper rear Diff bushings are solid rubber. Pull the...

I was changing the rear brake pads on my 98 Cobra from semi-metallic to power stop A-23 series and ran into a problem. I pulled the calipers, replaced the pads and tried to turn the piston center clockwise to run it back in to reset it it to fit over the new pads. I used a 12 inch long...
