Well, I got sent off-course a little with my build... many of you remember the 2.8K+teskid dream.... that's still alive, but i want the stang running soon, as it seems to have exploded... and not in a "omg Chris, i need a cigarette after that" way... more of the "commeer boy! daddys gunna make ya cry!" way....
ill post videos of my car running later... i dont want to start it any more than i have to in hopes of driving it on and off the trailor for the swap. lol.
so here it is...
4.6 npi spun a main or something.
so i was looking into a PI swap when Jeff mentioned his friend having a cobra motor.
i set everything up with his friend to buy his cobra motor, but found one a little closer for a little bit more reasonable price...
here's what i got:
2004 Mustang Cobra Motor
100% stock.
31,000 Miles.
guy rolled his car.
ran when dropped off at junk yard
nothing is broken (havent inspected it yet, but thats what the yard guranteed me.)
motor mounts are fine (always want to make sure those werent ripped out when you buy a car from a rolled-accident)
bellhousing mount locations are fine
some minor wiring problems (some are ripped apart. ive found two so far. nothing a 10 minutes wont fix)
exhaust manifold and stock h-pipe provided
stock intake, throttle cable, MAF provided
oem k-member also provided
100% computer system:
dash harness,
ecu,
engine harness
stearing colum,
set of keys,
locks
etc.
step 1:
disassemble
removing blower and lower intake manifold for cleaning and porting.
removing valve covers for inspection, maybe swap valvecovers to my powder-coated blue ones. (maybe)
removing oil pan for inspection
step 2:
reassembly with full bolt ons.
HEAD COOLING KIT, adding a pulley system, fuel upgrades, full intake, and full exhaust. also contemplating an aftermarket ignition system.
step 3:
wire export tail lights, provide "how to" for sn95s ;-)
step 4:
replace stock fuel system with aftermarket fuel system. provide "how to" for sn95s ;-)
step 5:
swap motor, k member, replace struts/springs, and computer parts. provide "how to" for sn95s ;-)
step 6:
battery relocation kit. provide "how to" for sn95s ;-)
step 7:
professional tune on pump gas.
Step 8:
new hood, new paint on hood, new spoiler, lose the rocker-stripes.
;-)
after this, v2.0 will be complete and I will bein saving for the 2.8 again. this sucked my KB account dry, so i will start v1.0 again in the future
here are a few teaser pics. :-D
