04 terminator swap

[MustangChris]

Hey everyone, tomorrow im pulling the trigger on the purchase. i found a rolled 04 termi closer to home, so ill have an entire doner car. its at a junk yard and they professionally pull everything. heres what i told him i needed:

(please keep in mind i already have an 03 cobra gas tank)
Engine
Cluster
Dash harness
ECM
ECM Harness
Engine Harness
FPDM harness

now, what do i need for the PATS. The doner car has keys and the motor runs fine, so i can get the entire PATS system, i just need to tell him what to pull....
what should i tell him for the steering colum/PATS system?

Thanks everyone! i hate to just throw this at you, but tomorrow is the big day...

and i understand ill need more minor stuff, and i wont hate you all if you forgot to mention the "dash-to-windshield-bolt"... im just trying to get as much of it as i can on the first pull to avoid further pulling-fees....

thanks,
chris

Can you not just buy the entire car off him? If I had to do it again I would have done that. You could probably make your money back if not close parting out the other parts of the car.

I have a speedcal you can have, chris.

You can either swap all the lock cylinder's and ignition cylinder's for the stuff from the donor car, or have a new key cut at the dealer to match your current ignition switch and the Cobra ECM code.

Removing the trunk cylinder will require some drilling, the rest just pop out.

You can turn the PATS off for the moment just to get it running and then turn it back on for security purposes. I still haven't turned mine back on but I have LoJack, a viper alarm and a hidden kill switch. And I had my audio guy change all my important wires black

The car was rolled, so the interior has been through the weather because every window is smashed.
its a hard top, so no convertible cover.
mirrors are broken off.
gas tank is already gone.
front drivers side wheel is toast, so i have a feeling the streering rack and control arms are useless.
radiator is gone

....

so after im done with it, it will have a weathered interior, and a T56/aluminum driveshaft...
the guy wanted $9,100.00 for the entire car. :-( lol. (trust me, i asked )

awesome. thanks man!

i figured i could try and get everything for a turn-key set up, since i found a doner car.

Thanks everyone!!! for all your help!!!

(also, heres a pic of the doner car... if everything goes well, taht is.)

he said when they first got it, it started fine. He gurantees its running and that noting is broken (no motor mounts ripped out... etc. etc.)

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Wow, looks like my old car, lol.

It is now, lol

 

[Dalamar]

[Jrgunn5150]

No, it's a party now cuz you're here Jeff.

It's like the pic because of the wreck Cobra, makes me flinch, lol.

 

[MustangChris]

JR, didnt you have a non-intercooled procharged 2V??



and here's the update:
Just called the guy and gave him my credit card info:

everything works and is professionally pulled from the car.

2004 cobra motor - complete pull
engine wiring harness
dash harness
ecu+harness
steering colum
gauge cluster
fpdm
door locks+trunk locks
1 copy of the key

i need:
intake plumbing
intercooling (edit) heat-exchanger... not intercooler. lol.
exhaust
(edit) and a radiator.
(probably go aftermarket on all this stuff anyways.)

:-D thanks everyone for all your help!!!!! :-D

Jeff, I just PMed you.

I'd just get an 03 cobra/mach Radiator. They are very good for the money. You'll need the rear body harness too to plug into the FPDM.

I havd a Paxton supercharged 2v, then an 04 Cobra for a bit. THen some 5.0's, a V6 car I never saw... And now a Supercoupe and an F250 lol.

Chris, the list looks pretty good. You do need the FDPM harness as stated. Aftermarket heat exchanger's are plentiful, and a common upgrade anyway, so you can either snag a stocker and save some coin, or go the aftermarket route.

As for the radiator, alot of people are happy with their Mishimoto's, but, a factory Cobra radiator will probably have the fancy heat exchanger tank on it already.

i told him the "FPDM harness" .... i hope him and i are on the same page... lol. either way, you said they run $50.00, used, anways, right? otherwise i should give him a call...

will an 04 cobra radiator fit in a 1996GT??? i know the 1996 was an off year, being different from 1994/1995 and 1997-2004...

ill start shopping once the build starts... ive got alot of work ahead of me...

doing battery relocation, fuel system, and maybe a new dash... :-D

 

[Dalamar]

Got your PM, you've got some work ahead of you, but it will be fun!
JR is good for the 4V / tranny info.

I'm just here for the party. :3some:




have you guys talked about the head cooling mod? I've seen more than one Termy that fried the #4/8 cylinder.
Usually when doing a long WOT runs, but it's something I'd look into.

 

[MustangChris]

yep, already looked into that and it seems manditory... i dont plan on 5th gear WOTs, but it seems that it gives peace of mind durring 1st-4th anyways.

 

[Dalamar]

cooleo - no pun intended

For 100 bucks, it certainly doesn't hurt. Especially when you don't have to go out of your way to do it while the engine is out.
