3.4 whipple crusher cobra build pics

[fordsvtaz]

Almost year ago my 03 cobra blew up on the dyno as a result of massive oil failure. That was a day I will never forget. After months of contemplating on what to do next, my brother and I decided to rebuild the 03 cobra. Below are some of the pics. UPDATED with a STARTUP!

Running 91 and c16 when im feeling froggy. Used to be on e85 just no stations by me. Starting off with 18-20lbs of boost and see how it is. Motor was built for nitrous too but that will be down the road.

I bought the motor from a guy my brother knew who had it sitting around. Brand new, never put into a car. He bought it from somebody that had it built by vt competition engines. I was told the motor was around 16000 when it was built. I took it to brooks racing and had it completely taken apart. This motor was no Joke. Whoever had it built had deep pockets. I got it for a screaming deal and had everyhthing taken out and put into my ironblock. It was originally in a teksid block.

All I'm lacking is a billet rotating assembly! Congrats man.

 

[silvrsrt]

badass build! who is going to tune it?

 

[lxboy]

why not keep the teksid block and save some weight off the nose?

 

[fordsvtaz]

Thank you. I didnt go with the teksid block because I was told the iron block would hold up better with the 3.4 crusher. If I would of gone turbo the teksid block would have been the way to go.
Being tuned by Rob Wetzel of Forced Induction Tuning
