Sorry it took me soo long! I had this written up and saved someone on my computer and then I completely forgot about it! I will make a separate write up that will include the complete removal of the motor, since I greatly recommend it for doing the head swap.
Parts Required:
-C-Heads
-99/01 Cobra Intake or 03/04 Mach 1 Intake Manifold
-Air Inlet tubing from an 99/01 Cobra or Mach 1
-Crossover tube from a B-head or C-headed car will work..will specify the modifications necessary later in this post
-Throttle Cable
-Throttle Cable Bracket
-Cruise Control Cable [if you want to retain that]
-Alternator Bracket
Modifications Required:
Now lets address the Fuel Rail issue.
the stock 96-98 fuel rails may be retained. You have to cut off ATLEAST two of the stock brackets [they aren't as flimsy and easy as they first appear..I had a fun//dangerous time taking them off]. Then you can either cut and weld the brackets on a different way to make it mount to the new locations for the new intake manifold.
Another solution to this problem, is purchasing aftermarket fuel rails for our cars [return-style], but getting them with the 99/01 Cobra brackets.
Knock Sensors
-Delete them. I just left them unplugged and then cut out the plastic pieces on it for the intake manifold to clear and fit into the valley. I just had my knock sensors turned off in the tune.
Coolant Crossover Tube
96-98 Crossover
-You have to cut and move the mounting bracket tabs.
99-04 Crossover
-It will bolt right in..but you will have to weld in an extra bung for the extra water temperature sensor that our engine harnesses have.
IAT Sensor
-Also, the IAT will need to be cut, spliced, and extended....since the IAC is located on the OTHER side of the intake manifold..this will be necessary..its fairly straight forward...even I managed to pull this off.
As for EGR and SAI... I can't put in my word for them...I just completely removed the system instead of trying to figure out how it all hooks up and whatnot.
I will update this with more detailed pictures.
Until then... end result. :rockon:
