My first cobra

[NVRENUF]

Well i figuered i would introduce myself since I am now the owner of a 96 cobra that i have big plans for. I am coming from the import side of things not ricey well built 588 whp evo, So now i have a cobra which will get a 76mm turbo and a "c" head swap, couple of things wrong witht eh car but i can fix all of that lil shit. That will all have to wait until i get out of iraq and come back home( San Diego). Hope everyone has a good day!

 

[72 fastback]

turbo and c-heads,sounds like fun

 

[ARdoller]

i hope you know everything you need to put c heads on to a block with b heads, since its not exactly "plug and play".

 

[mystical]

Why the head swap if going turbo?

 

[cobra_4]

Nice congrats! Good luck with the build!

 

[BMF42]

Good luck. It should be a lot of fun once you get it up and running. Be safe.

 

[Gallows]

Sounds like you're building a monster:rockon:

 

[NVRENUF]

well i might widen the current intake manifold, port the B heads and put in a 5.4 bottom end. I have pretty much canned the c heads idea to save money unless i can find a good deal

 

[97WHITEVENOM]

I could have sworn I saw a company that widens our intakes for the 5.4L

 

[NVRENUF]

MMR does, but i think I am going to go with the boss block stroked to 5.3 so i don't have to widen my intake manifold that way i won't have to modify the turbo kit.

Welcome to the board, and good luck with your mods!

 

[Midnight_Cobra]

I see you're in Iraq, come home safe first, then worry about the car!! But sounds like a killer combo.

What are your goals for the car? Because the B heads can make 800 rwhp with 281 ci and a 76mm turbo. You might end up spending more money than you need to. Just my .02

 

[John4cam]

Congrats and good luck on the build!

yeah I decided to keep my heads port them and build the bottom end should be a fun car!

 

[PSUCOBRA96]

stick with the stock width intake, have a shortrunner made there are two guys here on the boards that could do it if you want it done

 

[JasonSnake]

and get rid of the IMRC's!

If he went with the 5.4L block he wouldnt be able to.

Good idea. The teksid block is the best 4.6 block out there. Rebuilding the shortblock using the existing block is a good way to go.
