    Timing Marks on 98 Cobra (pics)

    I'm a bit worried because the timing marks on my motor do not line up. When the heads were installed, I wasn't around (done by respected NJ shop) and I was able to turn a 13.3 with a forged 302 (VT Engines) with FRPP cams, headers, underdrive pully, 4.10's. Now I'm wondering what 1 tooth...

    Oil Cooler HELL!

    I'm tired of this worthless oil cooler on the 4.6L and would like to do away with it. Are there any replacement or delete packages that would move the filter and eliminate the need for this leaky contraption?? Someone mentioned a piece that was called Evans Replacement but I couldn't find...

    Fiberglass hood repair

    I have a little damage (hole actually) in my 1998 Cobra hood (fiberglass). Can anyone recommend a good bodyshop to fix the damage and paint the hood? I'm in NY - but anywhere near the tri-state area is good.

    Pulling motor..

    I'm running into a few snags pulling the motor in my 1998 Cobra.. How do you handle disconnecting the A/C? Is it quick disconnect like the fuel lines? I was told there were ground straps bolted to the head(s)- I didn't see any. The Power Steering line is on WAYYYY tight.. any pointers...

    Spun Bearing- need shortblock

    I've noticed many shops, like VT, MMR, CHP, etc. that offer forged shortblocks. My question is: Which would be the best for a shortblock that will be shipped for installation in my home garage? Some require cores, others don't, some have billet oil pumps, others don't. I guess what...

    Can't finance a pop-tart?

    Even if you can't "pay attention"- you can get financed until the end of the week (delivery by 8/31) REGARDLESS of credit tier (ie, level 3,4,5) which is a godsend for those with blemished credit. This excludes Ford GT, F-650, 750, and LCF Trucks. So.. if you want a Mustang GT and are...

    Precision (Tire & Wheel Performance) 17S

    BIG thanks to Precision (Tire & Wheel Performance) on 17S, Ridgewood! I had to bring the car back for an alignment because I added the MM Camber/Caster plates. The previous alignment was close but out of specs. My car was a bitch to get right.. and then FINALLY they got it right on the...

    Oil on top of motor

    After going WOT in 1st gear, I noticed that I blew some motor oil ON TOP of the motor, and it settled on the passenger side valve cover where the bolts go.. that relief in the valve cover for the bolts. Could this be a faulty PVC valve? Any ideas?

    "Concealed" Starter Bolt

    I'm installing the Bassani Headers and have one comment- I'd like to take an aluminum baseball bat to the sadistic Ford Engineer who placed this "Concealed" Starter Bolt where it's located.. :chair: :chair: :bang: :fuss: :bang:
