Getting ready to yank the motor on my Cobra to rebuild its knocking bottom end. Depending on the cost of the rebuild, there's a pretty good chance I'm dropping a set of cams in.
Right now my combination is stock B heads, a short runner intake with a raised floor, Ford racing shorties, IMRC...
With 199k on the clock, my cobra started knocking. It's been sitting for over 2 years now and i'm finally ready to get it back on the road.
Im considering getting a MK VIII engine and swapping over all my cobra goodies. I know i will need a new flywheel, but i think that's about it. But i do...
I have read about C head swaps in every single N/A build thread, i plan on sticking with B heads for my build, unless someone gives me a intake and heads for free.
Now, the plan is to build a N/A 4.6 B head motor that makes between 360 and 400 WHP and spins to ~8000RPM.
right now as it sits i...
For almost a year now I have had really bad brake issues. It all started when I left my front passenger caliper unhooked overnight. Once I hooked it back up and bled the brakes I had a stiff spongy pedal. From that point on my brakes have felt awful. I have bled tbem myself with a pressure...
It looks like ford has discontinued the UCA's for our cars. i definitely don't have the money to go with a torque arm setup, so whats the best option with shot UCA's?
Looking into steeda arms or J&M UCA's, they both have 3 piece bushings.
Im on my 3rd parts store alternator, first died at 5000rpm on its first drive, second works till its hot then voltage regulator stop working correctly. 3rd had bad bearings from the start.
i just ordered a alternator off amazon, should be here tomorrow...
ive been too broke to do the mods I wanted to do for far too long now. and im really getting the itch for more power.
ben searching for a used SRI for a while now, not finding much though. so im thinking about a set if march under drive pulleys.
I just don't want to buy the UDP and feel...
About a month and a half ago i was doing some drifting in mexico and decided to be overly cautious and get out of my drift when i saw cars approaching.
i under-steered into a curb.....
Bent my BBK CC plate, bent the UPR k member and broke my wheel, Along with other various damage.
Now! I...
Car idles great! Runs terrible at WOT and weird below 3k(getting better though).
It is sputtering and cutting out extremely badly above 4500 RPM and feels bad below 2k. The more quickly it revs the worse this is. In first gear sometimes it sputters and pops so badly I can’t rev it out. I...
Looking for a 96-98 cobra short runner intake.
I want runners shortened no more then 1.5"-2" with the bellmouth welded back on.
I'm willing to trade my stock intake for the SRI as well.
in finally pulling the trigger on cams!
I want a good lope, and best possible power. the only ones I know much about is the comp cams. I was going to use 106100's with my 20k mile ford valve springs. I do not want to change springs. everyone tells me to degree them, but I don't know if ill be...
I’m 100% done with this pan. It hangs so low it scrapes on everything. MMR claims that it does not hang lower than a stock pan, and that’s a blatant lie. I have had the pan for about a year and a half, 6 months ago it had a hole rubbed though it. I repaired it with quick steal and it’s been...
a buddy of mine just traded a set of wheels for a running, driving 89 GT with 260k on the odo. well, it stopped working at 260k. lol.
hes thinking about selling it to me, here are the details:
bone stock 89 GT nothing is known about this car (not stolen)
has a BBK quadrant and cable...
I have a build planned. every part picked out and quotes for machine work.
build is as follows:
MMR900 bottom end (oil pimp, arp studs etc)
ON3 turbo kit with 76mm turbo
60lb injectors
T56
100 shot nitrous
and more.
plan is to make around 700 wheel with this setup, BUT im worried it...
some sort of clear slippery liquid that I think might be a type of sap got all over my car, and stained my black plastics with white dots.
so im thinking about replacing the cowl with a carbon fiber piece and painting my mirrors white to match my car...
I have spent too much money and time trying to get the IMRC's to work right and not leak. but I give up.
bama will tune for imrc's and im about to make deletes. any advice for me?
ill be using aluminum plates BTW.
im planing on a turbo build this coming year. but until them i want to do some motor upgrades. my plan is for IMRC deletes, a SRI and cams. ill be getting an SCT chip, but what i need to know is can bama tune for those things? i just don't want to need multiple custom tunes. tunes are 800$+...
i got a set of LED turn signals and installed them. they flash at a normal speed when lights are off. BUT the fog lights flash with the signals and the fog light relay clicks loudly with the flashing. when i turn lights on the fogs stop flashing and the blinker flashes quickly.
i tried a load...
I'm putting together a list of parts to buy to build my motor. Its happening soon.
What all will I need. I want a motor that will handle 600hp without an issue. Its a 96 cobra with a healthy motor. I have a local shop that will be doing the machine work.
The plan is to run a on3 turbo kit...
ill be boosting my motor very soon. i have been set on a on3 kit for a while now. but im still open to other options. anyone have any insight here?
i already have a upr k member and a mmr oil pan with a drain fitting. and after boosting ill be building the motor.
