That’s the one Iam going to use. Mark at lock n stitch said I can change my heads to the 9 thread with their kit. Looking into upgrading.

I can't remember if I used the lock and stitch or timesert on my heads. But it wasn't bad at all. Go slow and use lots of grease.
I wasn't trying to be a dick or anything about the car. I have a soft spot for 01's as that was my first Cobra. I just like to make sure people have what they paid for.

No problem, age jokes, car jokes all good. The world has gotten to serious and can’t take a joke
You'll want to get rid of those amber tails asap. I'll buy them off you for $200 to help you out.
Ha ha, that’s the only that’s good on the car except the paint
That’s awesome. Congrats sir. Welcome to the club and enjoy your new toy.
I tried. I see you live kind of in my area. You actually in the Arcadia area, or Lake Suzy or similar?
Arcadia, Fl
Cool project! Nice
That’s where I pick my black coupe up from. You’re not to far from me at all. Anything I can help with just give me a shout bud
1. Trying to decide on plug repair. Lock n stich Full Torque Ford 4valve kit is what Iam thinking about
2. Removed the old style On3 gen one turbo kit. Trying to figure what I need to delete or replace to get it back to NA
3. Guess I really need to buy ford shop manuals for it.
May ask you about random vacuum hoses and things. Also my motor seems that passenger side is lower than the drivers side. Could be just a bad motor mount. It does have a tubular K member

Might want to ask in the New Edge Cobra section when it gets to the tech stuff. You'll probably get more views.
Ok thanks
As mentioned start a thread for it and Post pics of the engine bay from various angles and people can tell ya what’s missing/how to get it running again
I wouldn’t be surprised if it needs motor mounts
Will next weekend before I get too see it again
ahhh yes.. the ol Mod Motor Spark Plug Rocket Launcher. enjoy
Ha Ha, had a Toyota that spit one out to.
+1 vote for the Lock n Stitch kit. I repaired a few plug holes on some 2 valve heads with their insert kit. Very well designed tooling and straightforward repair procedure. The only issue I had was them significantly overcharging me on the kit rental and not honoring their quoted pricing. The repair kit is great, I wouldn't use anything else to repair modular engine plug holes, just keep an eye on the invoice
