I want to do an Eaton swap on my 03 Mach 1. I was wondering if anybody here that has done it if you could give me a list of parts that I need to do the swap and make it work. Thanks, I appreciate any advice.
Theres A LOT of stuff you will need. Your better off buying a procharger or a vortech.
Man thats a lot of stuff. Thanks
Great swap, i'm loving mine but definitely expect to put some time in looking for parts. Well worth it for me. Numbers and mods are in my signature, the instant torque is great. Look on mach 1 registry, they have lots of info about the swap here http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71833 I spent less than 2k tuned for my whole swap including cobra fuel setup. Can't beat it in my opinion. Gives you endless possibilities to upgrade later.
Not true.
Yes, it is, but it can all be had at once from a Turbo Terminator. When they swap to a turbo, every part they take off is what you will need. IMO doing an Eaton swap is the only option if you want to run a positive displacement blower on a non teminator 4v car. The KB is WAY over priced, not too mention you are limited to a 2.1. Doing an Eaton swap opens up all the options to you such as the 2.6 and 2.8 KB and any of the Whipples.
BTW, make your way over to the Mach 1 Registry, there are atleast 3 or 4 Mach's that frequent that site who have done the swap and there is a thread over there on it with all the info you will ever need.
WRONG Most of what is listed will not be just given to you by a termie owner doing a swap. You will swap and end up shelling out a lot of cash to the termie owner as well. Some of those things wont even be taken off of the termie period as the termie will still need them
Did i ask you how you mounted the shaker on Mach1Registry?
Im under Got03mach1
Really depends on which turbo kit the 03/04 guy is running. There are a bunch of parts like the timing cover, damper etc that wont need to be pulled off of the car.See some of the posts above from folks who have done the swap. Guys generally spend $2-3K. The hardest pieces to get from the 03/04 Cobra owner are usually the timing cover, alternator, oil cooler, and crank damper. All of these parts are readily available if you can't get them in the swap. The key is to not buy an incomplete setup for a "deal". Make sure items like hardware and brackets are included. You'll also need the 0/304 Cobra damper if you want to run the stock crank pulley.
Dont do it man i mean when it's complete it's really cool but i looked into it it's around $4000. i mean for $4500 you can get a procharger kit with the P1SC blower or a Vortech kit with the new V3-SQ head unit or a Kenne-bell 2.1L Twin Screw with the 7# pulley instead of the 5# just get it tuned at Alternative Auto, Modular Powerhouse or anybody who knows the biness !!!
