and i seen you had like 4 guys help you with your swap right? damn you been in the game so long right? then why did you run into so many mistakes? seems like you needed to do more reseach. p/s oil filter adaptor. ooh and didnt you tell me there are no knock sensors on termi's to bad they do got them... come on your games getting rusty. i did mine alone with no help damn and took less the a day to start her up. my games greased up running slick lol
um, 01 Venom didn't run into any mistakes. there was a decent amount of documentation out on the eaton setup. he even contributed his own when he was all finished.

just so you know, to run the eaton setup you have to run the 03/04 filter adaptor. so i don't know what you are getting at. also, 03/04's do not have knock sensors. research before you poke fun at people who have been on here longer(and know what they are talking about) and can construct a decent english sentence.


***this response was constucted under the assumption that i somehow understood what the above 1st grade written quote was trying to say.

It comes down to the obvious trade off.

Higher initial buy-in cost for a higher quality platform, or Lower buy in, but requires more extensive work to reach the stock level of the more expensive car.

I find in general it is better to start out with the highest quality OEM platform possible if you are looking for something you want to be able to drive daily.

If you are building a race car, just find any V-6 fox and put an LS1 based motor in it and call it a day! We have one here in Tampa running in the 8s lol.

another member said earlier not to forget about resale which is a good point.

an n/c cobra suuped up to match a slighlty modded 03-04 will never resell any where close to the modded 03-04 :shrug:
ie: modded n/a 10k+modds 13k ,..,,,....,,,....,.,.resale 9k
03-04 cobra used 21k +1500 for pulley tune ect, resale 20k
I am just guessing on the numbers, but the point is still valid :shrug:

Actually,


It is possible to have an eaton powered 900 Flywheel horsepower car.

To start with, you would need extremely high compression, either a TVS or the 2.0L eaton, E98 or Methanol for fuel, and nitrous, but it is possible.

Many Magnacharger 346ci LS based cars make 700+ flywheel HP, I don't find it hard to believe that 900 is possible with nitrous in a larger displacement higher compression race motor. 900 fwhp is only around 750 wheel, ported eaton+150 shot cars regularly make mid to high 600s.




Then again, with enough cocaine I could probably bang Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie at the same time. Possible yes, likely no.

before he changed it to ttt,
it was the reliable part, I see a problem with that, you can boost any engine to make power beyond its normal limits, just throw enough boost and spray on it. but reliable??? not so much
dude i got a dohc 5.4 in the garage we will build up soon. and throw my eaton stuff on it. hoping for 900hp on race gas. and stil be reliable.

dude you have got to be the dumbest person i have ever seen grace this forum. Please post a picture of where exactly knock sensors are on an 03 Cobra i would love to be corrected on this issue.

I didnt make any mistakes on my Eaton Swap, I did everything right the first time. When I started my car I drove it, you damn near blew the shit up.

Spray this and Spray that, you have been watching too many movies bro. Do yourself a favor and just keep your trap shut for a while.

seriously quad, he drilled them out. Liesten to him he built a 472 with SPRAY so he knows his shit. Now he can easily run a stock escort fuel pump and save money cause he DRILLED his injectors out :)

Wow. This thread is getting very interresting.

Hype? it isn't hype. Everyone on this board should read "Iron Fist, Lead Foot". If you don't know what it is, it's a book written about the making of the 2003 Terminator. If you have any doubts about what went into making this very special car, read the book and you will get a very strong appreciation of what went into making this car from start to finish in...18 months (concept to showroom floor). No other car manufacturer could pull this off, ever.

And let's not forget the main reason the Terminator was built in the first place:

John Coletti was not impressed with the next phase Cobra for 2002 which was basically a 2001 that was mildly upgraded. The end result was a cobra making approx. 340-350 hp up from 320. Coletti said no way and that unless something very big was going to happen with this new Cobra, there WOULDNT be a new cobra. They took SO many chances making the Terminator and spent ALOT of money to get it where they needed to be.

If it wasn't for John Coletti and his relentlessness to build the best, fastest Mustang to that date, there would have never been a Terminator and probably no GT500 for that matter. It would have been a 2002 Cobra with 340hp barely keeping up with a Camaro SS. They took a whole lotta cues off of the Terminator when they built the GT500.

I just want to say that first, read the book...second, the Terminator was SVT's farewell to the SN95 platform and they wanted to go out with a huge bang...and they did and then some. An amazing car this is ridiculously easy to mod and get 100+rwhp and tq with mild boltons. 1000hp on an internally stock 4.6? it's real and it's amazing. Peace.

Dude don't mess with QuadCammer. Sometimes the things he knows about the 99/01s would make you think that he helped engineer these cars. He even knows how many degrees certain drivetrain parts face one way or the other. And let someone dare make a 'nutswinger remark' :fm:
