Well, its been quite some time since i posted on here as an owner of a RUNNING and driving Mustang. Some may know the whole deal i had with this incredible 2001 Cobra i found and ended up trading a GT straight up for.
Old thread -->http://www.sn95forums.com/showthread.php?69779-My-01-Cobra-Shes-home-now
Long story short... i gave a running 02 GT up for a rod knocking 01 Cobra with 60K orig. miles. I WAS SOLD! Swapped bottom ends with a WAP donor i had laying around and that bottom end started knocking halfway down its FIRST 1/4 mile PASS!!! THEN SHE SAT....and sat.....and sat some more. All while i accumulated new parts for the FACTORY TEKSID BLOCK! This was to be a fully forged build, and i wasn't going to cut corners. The end result surely paid off!!
Just enjoy these pics from oldest to new, then ill answer questions... haha YES I BUILT THIS CAR ALONE WITH ONLY THE HELP OF A FEW FRIENDs EXTRA HANDS AND A SEAN HYLAND BOOK FOR SPECS AND PORTING! I LEARNED A TON ABOUT THESE MOTORS DURING THIS BUILD! EVEN HOW TO MAKE SOME NICE POWER!
DAY 1
50K With a rod knock SUPER CLEAN THO lol
THE CULPRIT!
FIRST BUILD...TEMP BOTTOM END.
It Held up for a little cruising...
Beginning of the new parts after the second bottom end went. This was my "Foundation" Besides the Teksid.
THE BRAND NEW KELLOG FORGED CANK!
BLOCK REDONE!
PARTS AMASSED!
