i need a complete parts list of 03 parts to cnvert my 01

[99riocobra]

i think there's a few:

1. keep too much heat from getting to the hood and possibly affecting the paint(this is said to be a rumor)

2. in cold weather it prevents the engine from cooling too fast and causing cracks in the engine block and heads

3. smothers engine in case of fire

all three of those are not that important, ton of people run around with after market cowl hoode with huge holes and no blanket.

 

[99riocobra]

^ exactly!

Nick: the 2.4 does fit under the hood, but i am running such a large pulley that it is rubbing against the blanket. So just like everyone else i am pulling it off when i get it back.

My car is still at the shop, I am having the tq boxes welded up.

I did mine in about 2 weeks with little help. I just had a huge engine install party to get that put in. The engine took about 30 mins to drop into place, there was 5 of us. It took all day to put on the clutch, finish installing parts, drop the trans out. Man that was a good day!

looks like you guys had a good time

 

[wallie40]

We did, but it was scary too. I have pulled and installed a dozen motors but never something like this. I was shocked how easy it was to install and put back together. My dad's 62' Vette was a total PITA, this car went together so much easier.

it does look worse then it is, these motors are not as horrible as it seems

 

[Red3]

[01 Venom]

you should get one that details the 03/04 cobra

 

[Red3]

wallie, venom, rio: what numbers were you seeing after doing the swap and do you have any 1/4 mile times?

 

[99riocobra]

470 rwhp, 402 rwtq

best 1/4: 12.20 @ 117.85 mph

i have run a bunch of 12.3x's at 117.xx with not so hot launches. my best trap has been 119.24 mph......


Paul: glad to hear the KB 2.4 fits under the stock hood! i was afraid it wouldn't. now it will still look like a stock 99/01.....

 

[01 Venom]

473 rwhp 423 rwtq supposed to be going to the track tomorrow if the weather holds

 

[99riocobra]

the weather better freaking hold! i want other eaton 99/01 times to campare to!

 

[Red3]

so for an unported i should see around 420?

 

[Red3]

is the intercooler and heat exchanger the same thing?

 

[wallie40]

wallie, venom, rio: what numbers were you seeing after doing the swap and do you have any 1/4 mile times?

484/460 w/2.76 puley, no #'s.

 

[wallie40]

is the intercooler and heat exchanger the same thing?

No the Cooler mounts under the blower and the heat exchanger mounts behind the front bumper.

 

[99riocobra]

is the intercooler and heat exchanger the same thing?

like wallie40 said, they are different. air flows through the heat exchanger, which cools the fluid. the cooled off fluid flows through the intercooler and cools the air comming out of the blower going into the engine.
