I had a 97 Cobra and i just bought an 03 Mach 1. It looks like it has the same intake as the 01 cobra but thats just a guess. It also looks like it has the dual piston brakes from a cobra, but they just dont say Cobra on them. Could some one list me as many differences from the Cobra to the mach as possible, or point me somewhere that has a lot of info on them? thanks!
sold my cobra bought a mach, what are the differences?

I used to have a 03 Mach 1. The cylinder heads are different. The Mach1 has the same heads as the 03-04 Cobra. Much better than the B heads on 96-98 Cobras. The intake is nearly identical to that of the 99-01 Cobra intake. The cams are the same as the 03-04 Cobra, they have 20 degrees less duration than 96-98 Cobra cams. The mach uses coil on plug vs the coil packs. The mach has a different transmittion, better then the t-45. The brakes I'm pretty sure are the same.
is it the T3650?
yup
do these cars have the oil pan capacity issue that the sn-95s had? meaning it called for 6 but everyone puts in 7?

stick machs get the good cobra forged crank
auto machs get a shit cast crank,
auto machs get a shit cast crank,
the mach has 3.55 gears stock the 96-98 cobras had 3.27.
the machs have a weaker block then the sn-95 cobras. The 96-98's had the teksid blocks. Same cranks though if u have a manual mach 1.
oh btw...welcome aboard the mach 1 club :thumbsup:

99's had em too. some 01's also.
the mach heads flow a lot better than the sn95 cobras. Also they flow slightly better than the 99-01 cobra heads. If you ran a sn95 cobra you would see how much u can out run them! Welcome
yeah its a manual..screw autos lol
Differences? You didn't notice the body panels or hood? I'd say those are different.
Just messin'. Welcome.

Autos are great for the track..no fun around town. Had an auto GT with a procharger, 4.10 gears, 2800 stall with built tranny...I hurt ALOT of standards feelings. :beer:
ya they are so weak...thats why linemup is making 1k+ hp outta his stock block
they arent really weaker, its more a myth
I know...the early-mid 01 cobra's had the teksid's. I was just stating this simply because I thought he was comparing the 96-98 cobra's. I Didn't comprehend until later:bash: hahaha
nothing wrong with auto's just not for me 
so about the oil thing..any comments?

you need to go on the mach1registry.com/forums and search...all these answers are there

that being said, i put 6 quarts in mine
What would you say about John Mihovetz(sp?) and his car pushing 52# of boost and making about 2000rwhp all while using a teksid block? Would you try that with the Mach 1 aluminum block? No you wouldn't.
But for 99% of street applications the Mach 1 aluminum will hold up to what ever you throw at it, as we have seen with linemup's 1000+rwhp Mach.
And EVO-lution didnt say the Mach block was sooooo weak, just that its weaker than the Teksid, which is a true statement.
