actually i disco the lines from the master cylinder then moved that entire unit with the reservoir still attached. i believe the prob i had was it not clearing the actual master cylinder not just the reservoir.
also if i remember correctly the black cylindrical component that is connected to the firewall i believe had to be taken loose, that was just four screws i think. sorry for the lack of knowledge im at a beginning intermediate level with my motor, but learning fast, i want to say something like hydraulic clutch thing but not sure if thats right.
Sorry about your misfortune. I don't blame you at all for wanting rid of the car. I would too.
This thread on modularfords should tell you everything you need to know to get the valve cover off:

yea it all comes back to me now after readin that.. the thing i was talking about was the hydrobooster. And just like that thread says, for the passenger side just wrestle with it a bit, none of that k-member lowering crap.
annoying part is getting under the dash to disco the clutch cable from the pedal.

The LS1 does just bolt right in...I think that is what venomousSVT should do.

maybe my z06 with have SNAKEATR on the tag :shrug:j/k
Come on over to the dark side. You will NOT regret the move.
i was gonna actually call you and see if you still had your old z06.. and try to swipe it from you :rockon:
My motor only has 48,000 on it but if I ever blew it up I would deffinitly go with one of the LS motors. (I'm the only Ford guy in an all Chevy family) :rockon:
i said if it ever let go I would drop a forged 408 setup in the car with a turbo...
but inspections are a problem for a street car.
We gotta be realistic that cobras are not reliable cars.
I bought a a 01 cobra with 38k miles stock engine blew less then 3 months. Drank the Oil.
Ford Fan boys will say its the driver fault for not checking oil every week.
I dont even want to list all the stuff that has broken on this piece!
I totally feel you!!!!!

he only said it was Ford's originally
He did not blame SVT he just said Goodbye
'99 and '01 run higher on compression without the built bottom end make sure he keeps the boost low and no 5th gear pulls!
Please provide more info??? I am a service advisor and I get this kind of riff-raff all day. Just explain what happened. Why it happened? your warranty situation at the time. and how you pleaded your case with Ford?
Wish everything was as simple as it sounds
Wow! what a douche!
there was a post on here LONG ago about the entire dealing with me and ford about my motor issue...
to give you the basic gist of it....
I was driving home in my car one day in charlotte traffic. I was cruising along at 60 mph when i got off the freeway and pulled up to a red light. At the time I had my music blasting and was just in for the ride. When I pulled up at the red light I assumed that the minivan full of children didnt want to hear Rob Zombie, so I politely turned my music down.
When the light turned green I didnt leave the minivan by more than 2 car lengths (just giving an estimate of how "normal" i was driving the car) when I heard a knocking noise. I not only could hear it, but I could feel it in my foot as well. Having never blown up a motor, and this was not my first high performance vehicle, i had no idea what the noise was exactly, i thought it was my clutch.
I had the car towed to ford at my expense, with 37,300 miles on the clock. Yes. I understand it was out of waranty. When for go the car I was told (without them touching the first bolt) that my motor was blown and it would be $7500 to put a new one in from form. I laughed in their face, cranked my shit up and drove it home with it knocking. When the first shop took my motor apart they found bad castings in the block that was preventing proper oil flow. The block had to be sent to a shop and properly prepared so that it wouldnt have any future oiling issues. I didnt know enough at the time to be able to tell you the exact nature of the issue unfortunately. Now that I have built several motors, I would be able to describe in more detail any issues I would come across from this point on.
I contacted ford with photographic evidence and with a work order from the shop that prepped my block stating that the issue of the the failure was most definitely related to the blockage in the block. Ford just told me it wasn't their problem. I sought out help from a lawyer who pretty much wanted way more than I could afford to pay and lose. I made nearly a hundred calls to anyone I could find in ford to try and get my case heard and was met with nothing but closed doors.
in the end I paid way to much to have my forged motor built and ran it instead of killing myself fighting a non-winning battle with ford
i noticed he was off the scene... i sent him an email a while back with no response either.
