Well, after pestering you guys with some questions over the past few days, I figured it was time to post up a build thread.
Little backstory on me, I grew up working on cars, trucks, and tractors. Pretty much anything with an engine. The past few years have been occupied with 70-71 Torinos. After some careful consideration and the utter lack of aftermarket support, I decided it was time to step into a newer mustang again. (Had an 06 sixxer in highschool.) After some looking, I came across a cobra swapped 98 GT, was getting ready to do the deal, and a friend of mine made me a deal on his 97 cobra. I think he's a member on here?
Anyway picked the car up, found a few minor issues that I'm trying to sort out/fix. One of which was an overheating issue. Believe I have fixed it, but, sadly the heads didnt survive the ordeal. After some reading/research I decided that I'm going to C head swap the car initially. I may also try finding some forged rods and pistons. While I'm at it. End game consists of at least one turbocharger.
Mod list on the car as I know at the moment.
Tubular K member and A arms.
Stifflers trans crossmember.
Tubular 4 link arms.
4.10 gears
01-04 center console
04 cobra steering wheel.
EGR delete
IMRC delete
COP swap
O/R x pipe
Borla Stingers
Coilovers
315 nt555s
180° t-stat
Powder Coated intake and valve covers
S281 spoiler
Future mod list
01-04 radio bezel
99-04 gauge cluster surround
C heads
3.55/3.73?
On3 turbo kit
Repaint the bumpers and spoiler
Updated seats. (Undecided)
6r80 swap
Many more ideas may come in the future until then, I just want to put together a street/strip car I can enjoy.
