Good god almighty, that is going to be a beast!

VERY NICE... :thumbsup: What is the CR of the motor ??? What did you do with the fuel system ???

 

[blown 96']

CR is around 9.5:1. Fuel system should be arriving any day, i went with a Glenn's Sleeper tank and the twin pumps. If i need more i will just get another pump lol. Injectors are 83's. I will be running meth too just in case.

Same thing is going on with my car.... F1-A cogg is in, the auto just went in and the next thing will be GLENN's.... :beer:

funny that you posted this- as I am putting together my f1a kit right now- I went with a HOB bracket system though instead of the 03/04 setup-less piping/bends

 

[blown 96']

Very nice i knew there were others out there. i did reclock it and cut a hole in the fender and all i have is two 90 bends into the intercooler and two 90 bends up toward the throttle body it was easier than i thought it was going to be. i only have to weld beads on the ends and add a little straight piece up to the throttle body. if you have any pics please post.

Should be sick when you're done.

 

[CobraBob]

What an awesome Cobra that's going to be. The end of April will be here before you know it. That motor is a work of art. I hope all of your goals are accomplished. :thumbsup:

 

[Blackedout]

What did you install for a MAF ??

how much did you enjoy the dowel pins when you reclocked the blower- suck ass don't they? also when I opened mine up-turned out that procharged nicked the o ring in a couple places so I have to get a new one. looks good man- I will get some pics together soon as it's all done- I am actually going to hemicoil my heads tomorrow to fit beefier cam tower bolts- since ford actually started the job but left us with those terrible 9.8 bolts which stretch out so bad they won't torque right. what valve and valve spring/retainer combo did you choose to handle your 25 psi?

 

[blown 96']

I went with the VMP HPX weld in MAF. Clocking the blower was a little fun lol. right now the heads are 03's with inserts for the 9 thread and stock valves. springs are comp behive i think its what they recommended and titanium retainers. Next winter i plan on porting the heads and intake. Yeah ford and their torque to yield bolts = stupid. I'm interested to see your setup.

Thanks BOB.

Any reason you didn't use the 96-98 Cobra renegade bracket for the F1A-R blowers built around the 96-98 front cover? Looks good

 

[blown 96']

i picked this one up for a pretty good deal so i just made it work.

 

[96BlackStangGT]

Nice build! I'm looking to do almost the exact same setup on my 96 GT (Doing a cobra swap too). I've got a few questions. What goes into clocking the headunit and do you need extra parts to do so? What front mount did you go with? I also plan on going with the 01 intake upper and lower as well and want to know what throttle body I should go with and what to do about the piping coming off of the throttle body. Thanks for any help and AWESOME build!
