Mystic,

Can you post that in a new thread and ill stick it?

I was searching for 03 Cobra cam casting numbers but came across those specs everywhere. It's obvious the 96-98 Cobra cams are better but hey, $50, whatev. My dream plan is to build a turbo'd 4v, and I'm sure I could make more than enough hp with the 03 cams.

96-98 Cobra Cams > 99/01 Cobra Cams > 03/04 Cobra Cams

Ha, beat me to it. Been busy with halo 4 lol.

And a turbo 4v's own. I keep tossing my head at turbo or procharger. ugh!

I just got around to disassembling the heads so I thought I'd share. I have 46 pictures so I'll try to only post a few.

Also, here's my '99 Cobra shortblock. I removed and scraped the pistons and rods.

My buddy Josh hooked me up as usual. Tools to remove the valvetrain and lock the cams in place would cost me over $200.

My heads are on the floor. Joshs's two sets of B heads are on the tool box. One set is from the '98 Cobra engine he bought and the other is from a Mark 8.

I took my heads home to take off the cams.
