Well I thought I would start one of these...

unfortunately my car has so many swaps already that you've missed we will just start fresh with the 98 4v swap!

Car is currently a 2000 GT with a TR3650 (swapped from 4r75w). The 2v had BBK longtubes, BBK O/R X pipe, Trickflo plenum, and a BBK 75mm throttle body. When the car was an 8.8 rear end I had a MAC catback, it was amazing, I know currently run 2004 Cobra stock catback on the 2001 Cobra IRS with upgraded bushings. The car is lowered with H&R Super Sports, UPR bumpsteer, and Maximum Motorsports 4 bolt C/C plates. The rims are 18x9 Saleen rims with the "Hyper Black" finish wrapped in 285/35 in the rear and 265/35 upfront. I currently have the 99/01 cobra front bumper with 03/04 Cobra fog lights custom fit into the bezels. I also have some clutch adjustment crap... A UPR Triple Hook, UPR Cable Adjuster and a stock ford cable. All those adjustments are for the 2004 Cobra Clutch Kit.

car made 251/288 in 89% humidity and 92 degree weather...

Now for the upcoming swap this weekend...

Its a 1998 Cobra 32v motor, had a BBK CAI on it with very LOW miles, 20-30k.

Swap isn't too hard I will probably due a very thorough write up on the COP conversion and fuel rail modifications as the other parts are pretty easy.

Re: Stephen's Build Thread!

Well so I stripped the bolt that holds in the fuel rail to the intake...

the wires are soldered and ready to plug in though!

as you can see it basically apply's the pressure on the bolt next to the fuel rail bolt.. and the injector did seat correctly..
