Mark VIII = 96-98 Cobra ???

[hweb30]

Im planning on swapping the Mark VIII 4v engine in my car. Does anyone know the differences between that and the 96-98s besides the obvious, intake, and cams

The cranks are cast in the Mark 8's

Just those 3 above mentioned are the differences just so you know the mark exhaust cams are the same

 

[Mystic-SVT]

Intake cams, Intake, 6 bolt cast crank.

IMRC's are different even though they may be filed under intake.

good to know, im gonna build the engine anway. But its much easier to get a mark VIII engine, and for what im replacing those parts dont mean to much

The imrc are only different on 93-06 intakes

whats the deal with the cop's?

 

[racecougar]

The 93-95's don't have beehive valvesprings. The 93-mid '96's used the smaller oil pump pickup tube. The Gen 1's also had a bit of valve shrouding on one intake valve in each cylinder and used coil packs, whereas the Gen 2's used COP ignition.

You can use either ignition system on either.engine obviously
