Transmission: 4l80e
Turbos: hx40's going to push around 15psi with water meth
Looking to for 700hp to the wheels.

Building it just to sell it? Itll be a fun ride for sure. Kind of a shame to see someone LS swap a 4V though. Get it running and get some track times!

That's interesting for sure.

It will be a weird sale, the Ford guys will be turned off, the Chevy guys won't really like it because it's a Mustang.

Maybe $16k? It's hard to say, they go for $14k around here clean.

Those turbos shit their brains out all ready? (by the oil spots on the floor)

I don't want to hate on it because I know it should be nice and fast. But bruh...lol

That's going to be interesting to sell.

bought the car originally to sell with the 4v and had way to many issues should have just took the car to the crusher, Motor needed timing chains (did them and then still had a motor issue in the heads), needed a transmission, someone put a v6 rear end in it so i got pissed at the ford parts and started putting chevy in it. since cobra's are still bring mint at the auction blocks when killed.

Those turbos are really really low. Are you worried about them hitting anything? What k member and mounts did you use for the swap?

Because new edge v6 and gt's are becoming really hard to find...

But those aren't as cool and snazzy looking as a Mach 1. He already said this car was ragged out and had issues so why not rip into it. It is just a GT with a hood/scoop upgrade with a 4V in it :)
