    Dual fuel pump links

    I can't find the link for the thread for installation of dual fuel pumps. Where is the most detailed source of information. I'm pretty sure I can't use the 03/04 Cobra fuel hat and I don't know how to add the hole for the additional fuel line. Thanks

    Thunk sound when put in gear

    With the car standing still, when I put the transmission into 1st gear I get a thunk sound. Also when I shift into 2nd, I get the thunk sound also. In both instances the clutch is pushed in. If I'm extremely easy on the shift it doesn't happen. Does this seem like a transmission issue or an...

    Passenger side exhaust leak 1999 Cobra

    I reused my exhaust gaskets in rebuilding my engine. I have an exhaust leak, but I'm not sure if it's coming from the gasket or the where the manifold meets the header pipe. I applied some extra torque to the lower bolts on the manifold. I could get to the upper bolts (unless someone knows...

    Wont go into first gear

    I recently put the transmission back into my '99 Cobra after rebuilding the engine. I had never driven the car before and the previous owner swears it worked fine; however, I can't get the car to go into first or third. Reverse seems to work. It has an Exedy clutch and I replace the throw out...

    Harmonic Balancer install

    I recently installed my harmonic balancer using a dead blow hammer and then drove it in the rest of the way with the bolt as soon as I got it. This is how I put them on with Chevrolets. I then looked for the torque spec when I saw that there was the possiblity of damaging the thrust bearing...

    GT500 oil pan gasket installation issues

    I'm checking fitment of my GT500 oil pan gasket to my oil pan and it doesn't line up when I sit in place. My feeling is that the factory gasket did and so should this one in order not to leak. Where the gasket seems to have the most trouble is at the back of the pan where the lip of the windage...

    Is D'agostino in business?

    I hate to be posing a question like this but I ordered some parts online from them a month and I have not received an update and their phone number has gone to voice mail. I figured one of the Ford heads on this forum would know.

The setup I have has 96-98 intake cams, and 03/04 exhaust on 03/04 heads with a a 9.3-9.4:1 compression. My questions are: Can I set the advance on all the cams to zero after degreeing until...

    Broken Camshaft bearing cap

    As some of you may have noticed I'm rebuilding my '99 Cobra Engine. The build had originally started with my '04 Mercury Grand Marquis that I was going to a double overhead cam swap to and eventually supercharge. During that time I found a set of 03/04 heads for the swap and I purchased them...

    Manley Rods with 8740 bolts

    I recently purchased some discounted Manley H-beam rods. The advertisement was claiming up to a 1000 hp with these rods. I knew there were people who had produced that kind of power with these rods. I naturally assummed that these rods came with ARP 2000 bolts; however, when I recieved them...

    Hey guys, I'm rebuilding my 99 Cobra engine and I'm swapping to 03/04 heads with 96-98 Cobra intake cams and using the 03/04 exhaust cams. I'm going to leave it normally aspirated for a little while I compile parts for the super charger system. Does anyone have a video or link to a what...

    I'm rebuilding the engine in my 99 cobra as you might have seen in other threads and the anodization on my old bolts has gone away.

    Replacing "V8 32 VALVE" plaque

    I'm dressing up the motor and I can't get over how lame and generic the "V8 32 VALVE" plaque is. Does anyone know if there is a plaque, short of getting a custom engraving, to replace this one. Maybe something with a cobra or SVT printed on it. Instead of buying billet Ford Racing coil...

    Lethal Performance Cooling mod vs Connecting Rear Cylinder Head Cooling Ports

    Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with both types of cooling mods. I don't see paying $200 for overkill billet fittings for a cooling modification. I know the parts are nice but what's the point when all the other factory cooling fitting are stamped out sheet metal with o-rings...
