    1995 Cobra R For Sale

    I purchased the R with 343 miles on it in 1997, the original owner had it for a couple days and brought it back to the dealer. I've done a few reversible mods on it to make it track friendly such as Baer front brakes, cooling ducts, custom made roll bar, etc. All the mods are outlined in the...

    Tailpipes for a '95 R

    I'm doing long tube headers on my R with an O/R X-pipe and Borla XR-1 mufflers. The only 2.5" tailpipes I could find are ones from SR Performance (American Muscle brand) and from 5.0 Resto (LMR brand). Anyone have any experience with either? I checked the reviews and just checked the bad...

    A true story of two 1995 Cobra R's related by a dealer and by being fast

    I'm getting back in the saddle again, I'm planning on doing at least one open track event in '18. So far I've Baer brakes up front with cooling ducts to the fog light openings. I also got the BFG R-1s, 275s. I had to put a spacer plate in the front for clearance. Still looking at long tubes...

    Negative battery cable

    The clamp on my negative cable is cracked and I can't find one anywhere. I'd hate to put some JC Jipme universal clamp on, but I can't even find something that looks similar. Any suggestions?

    Cobra calipers

    I'm looking for a complete set (front and rear) of calipers, apparently '94-'04 are all the same. Preferably, I would have like to have gotten the 10th Anniversary Cobra calipers, Ford Part No. M-2320-A, but they're not available anywhere. I've found some afermarket ones from HTC Racing, the...

    Cylinder Head ID

    Several years ago, I bought a remanufactured '93 Cobra long block from my local Ford dealer. It wasn't until much later a friend of mine noticed that it didn't have GT40 heads on it. I'm trying to figure out what heads they are. There is no casting code except for the letters "WCT" in a...

    Oil pan R&R

    Couldn't find a thread on this already, but has anyone changed their oil pan? I imagine it's a PITA. I haven't gone underneath to look at it, but I'm guessing you have to raise the motor a bit for clearance.

    Got screwed on a reman from Ford

    Way back in '05, I cracked a head on my '66 restomod. A buddy of mine works in parts at my Ford dealer and he said he could get me a '93 Cobra reman long block from the Ford Parts catalog. With my discount it was $1900. I bought one in June of '06. Well, I already had another project going...

    High volume oil pump

    I picked up a '93 Cobra 5.0 long block from Ford that I will be putting into my '66. It's got an '89 front clip so I need to use the split oil pan. I'd like to put in a high volume oil pump, but I'm concerned that it might drain down the oil level in the oil pan too much, it pumps out about...

    Options on a '94 Cobra Pace Car

    I believe that there were a couple options available on the Indy pace car. One was the CD player. Was keyless entry another one? I'm just not sure that all of the pace cars were exactly the same. I've got a friend interested in one that has keyless entry, mine doesn't have that. I think...

    Which Speedo Gear?

    I've got a '94 Cobra Pace car and I'm planning on putting in 3.73 gears. Obviously going to have to change the speedo gear. I called CJ Pony Parts and their calculator said it's a 23-tooth gear. I checked the Summit website and it said it needs a 21-tooth gear. I believe it's got a T-45 in...

    1.7 Rockers

    I got a buddy selling his Crane Cobra 1.7 roller rockers and was thinking about putting them on my '89 5.0. It's a stock HO motor, anyone got any opinion if it's worth the expense and effort? I'm already replacing the valve covers with the Ford Racing ones. I've googled the rockers and found...

    Quad shock clearance

    Can anyone tell me if there is any fitment issue, ie. tire clearance with the quad shock with a '95 17" x 9" R wheel with 275/40s? I'm lowering it with H&R Sport springs, about an 1". Any quarter panel clearance issues either? I'm getting them mounted on Wednesday and would like to see if...

    Clutch Adjustment (Quadrant Gear)

    This is probably not new to most of you, but for the few, it might be of use. My pedal started grabbing right at the floor recently. It's only got 22K on the clock, but it's been open tracked at the Glen several times. I'm hoping it's not the clutch in need of replacement. Anyways, as a...

    SVO Master cylinder

    I'm putting Baer 4-piston calipers on the front and PBR single piston on the rear of my '89. I currently have SSBC rear discs and had to put in an SVO master cylinder to bring the pedal back up. Even with the revalving for the stock master cylinder included with the SSBC rear disc kit, the...

    Correct engine color

    I bought a '93 Cobra reman from Ford for my '66 and I want to paint it the correct engine color. It came in black. I looked at my other cars, but can't really determine the color, but haven't crawled under them. I believe the correct color is gray, but just want to verify that. Thanks

    IRS or Live Axle?

    I'm looking for opinions on an '04 IRS. I've got an '03 body-in-white that'll used for open track events... someday. I found a stock IRS at an area speed shop for $1000 with around 10,000 miles on it. If I could get some people's thoughts on this price and it's performance on the track it...

    Question on Wheel Restoration

    I've got a set of aluminum wheels I'm trying to fix up some scratches and wheel weight marks. Basically need to get off the clearcoat first. A buffing pad with white rouge doesn't do much, steel wool works great but is too labor intensive. I tried a 3M pad, but that scratches the aluminum...
