T-5 Killer's '95 Cobra Build thread

[T-5 Killer]

I have had this car for a VERY VERY long time and I made a build thread but its MIA after the forum update.

Its a '95 Cobra coupe #3775 I got it back in Dec '98,
In that time I have done the following mods

MAC CAI
BBK 70MM TB
FRPP B-303 Cam
Kirban FPR
190 LPH Fuel Pump
MAC Long Tube Headers
MAC H-Pipe with Cats
MAC 3 Inch Catback
Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter
3:73 Gears
MAC Upper Control arms
17x8 Bullitt Wheels
17x10.5 Bullitt Wheels (REAR)

I have a set of TEA CNC ported Trickflow Twisted Wedge heads that are waiting to go one as soon as I get the tired factory shortblock freshened up.

Some ARP stuff for the heads

PVS 1.6 Stud mount Rocker Arms

TrickFlow Stage 2 cam

And Last but NOT least a Vortech S-Trim

For suspension I have some FRPP "C" Springs in the box ready to go on

And some Lower Control arms

And for looks I have some nice 1 piece headlights I got here on SN95fourms.

Now if it could warm up and stay warm for a few days I can start turning wrenches!

Nice should be a good build man

Those headlights are gonna look sweet on your car. What numbers are you hoping to get out of your car/setup?

Thanks for the kind words. I cannot wait for spring so I can start turning wrenches! No idea on the Numbers, I would love anything beyond the 350 RWHP mark LOL This high altitude really puts a damper on high HP numbers.

Sweet set up ..

Sweet set up ..

Thank you! How much HP did you make out of your combo?

more stats on the heads, flow numbers? combustion chamber size? Valve size?

Are you going to get everything done over the winter or wait for the stock engine to croak?

I will wait till it gets warm out and pull the motor and freshen it up. Sadly I don't have the $$$$ or garage space to do it during the winter.

Do you have any videos of your current setup?

Sweet I hope you get it! I sure do.

Your welcome! I did paint it, just masked off the black spots and used a hobby knife to cut out the Cobra part. Yeah mine is a Garage queen so she stays sorta clean.

 

[Brian95SVT]

Yeah I'm getting a storage unit for mine to keep clean. Unfortunately the manifold is looking like brownish. Not sure how to get it as clean as yours or others.

Hmmm odd I have heard of using a bit of brake cleaner sprayed on a rag but I have never tried it.

 

[Brian95SVT]

Maybe it's not as bad as I thought haha. I've seen some that are like a silverish or just cleaner I guess. I want to get mine painted like yours.

Cool! Man it was nice yesterday while I was working and today now that I am off its snowing

 

[Brian95SVT]

Yeah it was really nice the other day and now its below 30s and dropping. The wife wanted me to do some errands with her and I didn't get a chance to clean it on the day it was beautiful out.
