Meh.... nothing out of the usual in here.

 

[tannerc91gt]

Well I sure have missed a lot...

Welcome to the in-crowd!

 

[Noobz347]

Only thing you've missed is, "Motor from a prison van and a 3 speed in an 04 Cobra".

 

[tannerc91gt]

Only thing you've missed is, "Motor from a Firebird and a 6 speed in an 04 Cobra".

Doesn't seem as cool now...

 

[Noobz347]

Nope... Prison van makes it sound like there's a story behind it.

Nothing like kicking the soap box out from under him...lol

Who even knows what to enter into Google to find a picture like that?

Joe

I thought it was Noobz selfie.

Saw this old copy and instantly though about your build. Lol

For a second I was hoping that was my car. It was in MM&FF at one point but I can't find it

Found the motor yet?

 

[tannerc91gt]

Yeah, supposedly next Monday-Tuesday. They had it in Texas all along though. Don't have the desire to keep calling them so if it's not here next week I'll just get my money back and find another.

 

[FoxMustangLvr]

That's a sexy car bro! Love everything about it.

Does your Cobra not have Cobra front brakes?

No, it's got GT sized rotors right now. Don't know if the 13" rotors wouldn't clear the 15s or what but it'll be reverted to stock.

 

[95BlueStallion]

Ah, that makes sense. I just thought, man those sure dont look right for a Cobra. This will be the first Ford getting a bowtie engine swap that Ive ever followed, but I guess I am changing as the years go by. I feel like once the stock engine combination is modified beyond a bigger twin screw (changed over to turbo, or coyote), the 03-04 Cobras just arent the same. That was their trademark to me, that blower whine and exhaust note combination. So being yours doesnt have the stock engine, Im all about seeing what you do with it! Good luck sir, hope you dont sell this one off before you finish it!

 

[Noobz347]

I recently saw in the classifieds here what looked like a front Brembo bolt-on kit for the Termi.

Rotors and all. I'll PM it to you tanner.

SEXY! I love FR500 rims. They would look really good on my notch. In fact, I think you should go back to the 15's and send these my way.

Were you able to get everything else ready for when the motor shows up so you can just plop it in there?

I've got engine mounts and a trans mount. Turns out my transmission already has a viper second gear and a steel 3-4 fork so I think I may just crack it open to put some billet keys in and such. Idk yet. Need my engine management still and to decide on the McLeod hydraulic setup.
I think my blower plans have changed a bit, but trying not to talk too many steps ahead. Most likely going to put it together stock.

I picked up a junk ford AC compressor to use building a bracket. The pulleys are the same so I'll just use the Ford AC system entirely.

Lot of stuff to do that's for sure

 

[old_blue]

I have a LS2 ac compressor if ya find out you need one. Would work better with a LS wiring kit I believe. Just cover shipping on it. It is left over from my project.
