as some of you may know I'm in the middle of a dream build. is bascically a 99 cobra drivetrain equipped 97 cobra with all of the corners ford cut fixed. the front fenders do not allow for the 17x9's people like to run up there. i know, you can add negative offset or you can not have the car...

Hey guys, I'm aiming to get these gaps perfect and was wondering if anybody could measure their unmolested door to rear quarter gaps above the belt line.

Hey guys, so as some of you might know i recently had my cobra motor gone through top to bottom by a local reputable machine shop. Nice people and unfortunately while the engine runs fine and sounds amazing (exhaust wise) there is a loud ticking on cold starts that seems to go away once the...

I'm having some issues with my car and just wanted to check to see if I have the MMR coolant crossover delete and inline thermostat housing all hooked up correctly. I have pretty much all of the MMR mods on my engine. Problem: I'm getting the P0125 code and my fans aren't coming on but the y...

UPDATE: there is no rough idle. if i jump the fuel pump relay the car will keep running. CCRM is telling fuel pump to shut off after a minute or so for some reason. I can use a scan tool to run the CCRM beyond this time so it seems like something is telling the CCRM to shut off the pump. any...

As some of you may know i've been reassembling a car over the last year and a half. I had the entire harness out and reloomed. all the grounds I know about are grounded well and i tried swapping the horn relay with another one which gave the same result. I haven't cranked the car yet but...

Hey guys, I'm fabbing up my side pipes and am probably going to use these brackets for exhaust hangers. I'm just curious as to what they were originally for. anybody got any images?

Hey guys so my engine builder just rebuilt my motor to factory specs, nothing crazy, with forged rods and pistons. I asked for break in instructions and he just said "take it easy for a week and change the oil after a week". that's it. so, what is the best oil to use for initial startup and...

Okay so we are dangerously close to getting this thing running but first I need to figure out where a few things go. A Coil On Plug conversion was done but frankly I just don't trust anything on this car. that's where you fine folks come in. facts: A. 1997 cobra wiring harness (the original...

Hey guys, so long story short I got this bit pile of parts and have slowly been reassembling it into something that looks like a car. I got the motor back from the shop and last night after installing the trans, putting it on the k member, all of that, i go to seat the crank pulley. well, i...

Some of you might know that I'm doing a pretty extensive restomod to my 97 cobra. Lots of time and love and a fair bit of money into this thing. Hopefully I can get her done this year and start really enjoying it but when that happens I want to make sure its covered in case the worst thing...

Hey guys, title says it all. I thought this would be an easy to find part but what I'm seeing is kind of confusing. I'm not sure what ATI dampner (the mount and the dampner) to get for the NA 4V 4.6. halp?!

hey guys I have what I think is a 99 teksid block and I'm told that the factory main bolts are one use only variants so I need to replace them right? (please correct me if I'm wrong). The issue is i'm not sure exactly what ARP bolt kit I need to get. one is for windage tray and the other isn't...

Hey has anybody used this kit? I'm thinking of doing this to my hinges so that I can align the doors, paint them off the car, and hang them when I'm done without any drama. Mustang Master Door Hinge Repair Kit (94-04) - LMR Thoughts?

This is good stuff.

Hey guys I don't have an RS but I did help a buddy with his. we installed whiteline swap bars, end links, and some beastly rear motor mount. The rear swaybar was easy but man working on the front of you's guy's cars is a real pain. That motor mount took us literally hours to install. with a...

Real simple question. Do the things in the red circles offer ANY actual benefit for structural rigidity on an IRS car? I want to cut them out. The blue boxes are what the IRS uses, i will never go live axle again, and the IRS will tie the frame rails together (plus im stitch welding everything)...

Hey guys, so I'm about to do some major back surgery on the car in the way of installing team z through the floor SFC's. I'm trying to get the thing perfectly level and a thought occurred to me. if the car is empty (no drive train, interior, not even body harnesses), it already has external...

I decided to make an official build thread. The objective is a sub-3200lb car with IRS that makes over 320hp all motor with 4.10 gears and looks awesome. That's a 99 IRS I spend a few months restoring and modifying Sold the cowl hood and scored this along with a GT bumper for my old...

Does anybody else feel like the shifters are just a little bit too far forward? i'm 6'2", not a t-rex, and I just wish I didn't have to move at all to grab the shifter. My last mustang was a 99 V6 but this cobra came with a T45 Triax that I've yet to experience since I got the car with the...

So I'm sitting here with a question about my newly acquired Cobra. Why did Shelby settle on calling it that? was it just a cool name or did it have some other meaning? I hope it has something more substantial than the 350 steps-to-the-car GT 350 name.

Hey guys, so I've got this block, piston/rod set, heads, crank, and misc other parts. I think the parts just need a polish, wash, and to be reassembled but I want someone to look at the heads (which are assembled and appear to be mint) and everything to make sure its all good before it goes...

Hey everybody. I've got a handshake deal right now with a guy on delivering a black 97 cobra (VIN 1FALP47V9VF117538 if anybody wants to hook me up with a check). Sounds good right? Not so fast. Here's the bad: 1. the engine had some issues so they pulled it, redid the heads, the block...
