taking her in for service and a couple of goodies

[lgonz051]

Im taking in my cobra in for a mobil 1 synthetic (5w-20) oil change, They are fixing my tapping TOB and installing lethal's TOB sleeve,

Ford racing HD TOB and pilot bearing. While tranny is out installing the LDC HCM and Clutch freeplay correction kit. They are also changing my tranny fluid with the Dexron III.

As far as engine work is concerned they are installing Ford Gt blue valve covers and billet ford racing coil covers, 60# injectors, JLT Carbon Fiber RAI, and SCT ba-2600 MAF with alum housing.

Yes they are giving me a baseline tune to drive it around.

Next month coming back putting the 2.76 upper and Fore Hat with twin GT pumps and dual fpdm's and custom tuning it with Paul Meister

Im really excited to see how different my engine bay will look. I will post pics once i get her back. All work is being professionally done by a local shop where i live Torq in Miramar, FL.

im surprised you havent done an upper already... especially with a ported blower.
your going to love it!

i would love to have some of the blue valve covers/chrome coil covers. what do they run price wise? and is swappin valve covers a garage friendly job? Is there anything special I would have to do before/when I put them back on or is it a simple swap? I know theres a gasket.

If I were you I would also have them install the head cooling mod while the tranny is out!

Don't put dex III in, use pennsoil syncromesh it think it's called.

Where'd you pick up the valve covers?

When you do the upper pulley swap, put a snub idler pulley in there and you'll need a longer belt. It will help prevent belt slip. Might as well do it, or have them do it while they are in there.

 

[mrose75]

Blue valve covers are teh hotness!!!

 

[03cobrah]

why dextron III?

 

[Jomo1994z71]

I highly suggest putting in pennzoil synchromesh in. Look for my thread.

 

[Terminator-Fox]

Gonna be a sweet set-up for sure.

The Ford Racing blue valve covers are discontinued. If anyone still has them they range in price from $300-500 I too like them a lot and picked up some stockers from a friend and having them powdercoated the same blue. Cant wait to get those suckers on with all of my goodies sitting on my dining room table :dancenana:

Okay so i got a call back from Torq and they informed me that i need a new clutch, i had a Spec Stage 3 clutch and aluminum flywheel were improperly installed and i really did not like the feel of it for daily driving. I had them re-surface the flywheel with a new insert, and bought a Spec Stage 3+ clutch kit, and i am using the Ford racing HD TOB and pilot bearing, Lethal's TOB sleeve, LDC head cooling mod and LDC clutch free-play correction kit and Steeda clutch adjuster kit. Also told them i would prefer to use Pennzoil synchromesh over Dexron III thanks to you guys. :beer:

I asked the shop to send me a picture of the engine bay and they sent me one, ill take some more as soon as i get her back. Enjoy let me know what you think. The 60# injectors are in, SCT MAF, JLT carbon fiber RAI, Blue Ford GT valve covers, and coil covers. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pic.
