    '98 Cobra Intake Questions...

    Front Dress

    Does anyone have any good sources for how the front dress of the motor goes for a 96-98 Cobra. I feel like a retard because I have stuff and I can't figure out how it goes on. I'll get pictures later of the things I'm particularly confused about. The alternator is really perplexing me. I can't...

    So I used the method of getting the dark link of the chain on the cam timing mark and getting the other dark link on the crank sprocket timing mark. The right side looks like it's supposed to in my mind: It's hard to tell from the picture but the cam lobes are facing each other at about a...

    Engine Gasket Sets?

    I'm new!!!

    Hey guys. I'm new to the Mustang scene but not to cars. I traded my highly modded 240sx for my Cobra a couple weeks ago. I love the Cobra so far. It has things I've never had in a car before or just in a long time. Namely power steering, A/C, cruise control, keyless entry, you know... luxuries...
