Project Whiteout - drivetrain upgrade

[FinnCobra]

Car is 1994 white Cobra, old drivetrain sold long time ago. I got totaled Mach1 for parts but I got scammed. Car has been in parts about two years now. But now I have most of the parts.
I have rebuild iron block, similar parts than in 03 Cobra. This week I'll get Eaton m112 with some parts. Current plan is to assemble the car NA because I need to get lower manifold and intercooler, and I need to get some savings first.

I have made irs swap few years ago, I have decent chassis. Subframe connectors, stiff bushes, bilstein, original brakes with Russel lines.

Before I can add the charger I must upgrade fuel pump. I have returnless system, and I plan to use either Mach1 or Terminator ecm. I have Quarterhorse and I have made several tunes for different Mustangs. HP goal is under 500, I have 47 lbs injectors.

We seem to have similar goals with similar parts. You should have no issues whatsoever achieving your goal with bolt on parts. I'm shooting for right under 500 bhp with 10.9:1 compression ratio and a Eaton M112/2.76 pulley. We are building my engine with a Teksid aluminum block, Diamond pistons, Boss 302 rods, etc..

Looks like a good place to start!!

I got low miles Eaton with plenum, tb and cai. Saving for more parts, intake and cooler next. I moved knock sensors outside the block, near engine mounts. I ordered some heat shielding tube for knock sensor wiring, I must wait for them to get wiring made.

Nice updates!

Soon it is ready for break-in. edit: not

no reason to wait for weather.

Picture links broken sorry. I had major problems and next goal is 2019 summer. Cylinder heads leak from bad surface milling(I hope so, next thing would be crack). I got some more parts. Swapped injectors 47>54 because I got good deal.

Progress, slowly but something. Water pipes needs modification.

Swap almost ready, inspected and ready for road. Tuning takes time.

That is a boatload of torque!

Why does the graph not cross at 5250 rpm?

Figured it out. It’s just a different scale then we’re used to. The torque reading is in newton meters. Calculates to 535.10 ft-lb of torque.

Glad you figgered that out, I was gnna say DANM 2500 rpms and over 700ftp of torque?? I was gnna learn me some 4 cam shit in a hurry!!

Almost like a diesel torque rating. [emoji38]

Yes, it's in metric scale. But feels very fun to drive. Engine in break-in period, rpm limited to 6000rpm, dyno rpm calculating has error more than 500 rpm.
ECM is little hard to tune, maf and injector limits are so small that everything has to be scaled.

Few hundred miles testing, everything works ok. Just filled ac today. Had to use plumbing stuff to make it fit. Not the prettiest engine bay, many parts are homemade.

Looks good to me.
