Who wants to help me blueprint a build?

[backwoods]

I have a 99 Cobra clean car 104k original miles think I snapped a rod not 100% sure but looking for advice on what I should do to this engine while out moneys not really an issue more so time...but my overall goal is on the road by next February. I plan on boring to a 306 for starters and lastly supercharging...everything from rotating assembly to supercharger and how you would do it.I have moderate expierence with Assembly's but the aftermarket world is distant to me.

You can't "bore" to a 306. The most you can get by boring is 289ci unless you add 3.7" bore sleeves ($1200) which results in 304ci.

If you're planning on supercharging you should stick with the stock cubes.

Thanks NA I was misinformed... I'm getting a block from a guy on here with stock crank and rods and diamond pistons with 5000 miles on rebuild should I replace rods and crank or not and if so what should I run for a rotating assembly?

 

[na svt]

Stock rods should be replaced. The stock crank is an excellent piece and is a keeper.

Alright and do you have a brand and I assume I should run an H beam!?and if I were to swapped pistons is there any you reccommend as well?

If it's gonna be n/a you can safely use any flat top piston and I or H beam rod.

I plan on running a 2.1 Kenne bell...and any certain brand? And what compression ratio piston should I run with it?

I'm considering just doing a full swap 04 engine and T56 ...comes with everything to swap it in

 

[Svtmustang01]

An 04 cobra swap with low mileage will run you atleast 12k in parts. Have to do a lot of wiring and etc.

 

[backwoods]

Yea $10,500 for the whole thing with 51,000 miles with everything I would do with the 99 setup would be around that after supercharging and putting a T-56 behind it...idk tho

Found a full swap all wiring modules engine And trans for 7700 locally with 48k miles all I need is different fuel pump and a heat exchanger

An 03/04 swap is the way I'm gonna go when I need a new motor. I think its a good investment. Those motors will handle a lot of hp stock. Plus I already have the 6speed so I wouldnt have to spend that extra cash.

 

[backwoods]

Since I no longer work at a dealership and don't have a hoist should I drop the trans take the motor out the top or still drop it right out the bottom k frame and all? Any advice is helpful

I don't think they're quite the deal anymore. The mileage on the motors being pulled is getting up there. Personally I'd rebuild the stock motor with forged rods and pistons.

I've always pulled the motor from the top. When I had the 3650 I pulled the motor and tranny together.

 

[backwoods]

Main reason I'm going with the full swap I'll need a block more than likely and my t-45 has some internal chatter motor has 48k on it also when you dropped it out the bottom where you at a shop cause I'm doing this in the driveway.

 

[backwoods]

I dropped a 5.0 and t-5 out the bottom of my parts car but didn't care about the shell at all I'm thinking of dropping the trans and pulling it out the top ...

As long as you don't have long tubes, you can bring the motor and trans up together through the top. That is how I do mine in my garage with a hoist.

 

[olgreydog7]

I bring mine out the top with long tubes. It's pretty easy IMO.

 

[01yellercobra]

I helped a buddy drop in a motor and trans with long tubes. One of those leveling tools would have made it a breeze.

Nice I have stock manifolds
