    Max Bang for Buck Top end swap for stock 5.0L

    I would step it up on the intake and cam with those heads. And don't forget roller rockers.

    I did the swap in my cobra. What did you need to know?

    a/c problem

    There is a vacuum leak you need to hunt down. Likely in the engine bay somewhere but could be under the dash. Just follow lines from your HVAC box. Once you find the leak it will work again.

    How do you get TIGHT steering?

    I did all of this but used urethane bushings and I couldn't ask for anything more. Car tracks soo good on the highway now it is much easier to keep the car pointed where you want. It also seems to have refined the car a little, the power steering is quieter and everything is just tighter...

    Who wins this race??? 03 Cobra vs 91 GT

    I'd give it to the Whippled cobra, but good luck in taking that beast down!

    nitrous or supercharger??

    I don't see a 347 needing boost all the time like a stock 5.0, the 347 is fast on its on right. Nitrous would just be an added boost in case of faster cars out there and the track. In this case you wouldn't be using it to make a slow car fast. Going with a blower you are going to need...

    Hypereutectic pistons

    Why? :shrug: That is simply how much .030 over hyper pistons with the stock dish top cost. Save the money and put it into a better cam or something..

    Hypereutectic pistons

    The $15 dollar speed pros are what they are, excellent stock dish type replacements. Nothing "cheap" about paying $120 for a set of pistons. I'd go for the flat tops they are around $30 each or $240 a set, which again is not cheap in the sense of the word. You are just paying for the...

    Clearanced Valve Covers

    Those are looking really nice. So are they clearing the 1.7's utilizing stud mount or the standard pedestal mount?

    kenne bell dyno

    This proves KB cant make a proper blower on the 5.0. Sure they make great power on the Terminators and GT500 but when it comes to the 5.0 and 5.8l they completely fail. I'm shocked that Im seeing numbers for a 2.2L intercooled 8.5 psi setup. I would assume these numbers would be produced...

    vortec overheats when on the gas (autocross or highway high rpm)

    I notice this too. Personally I believe its the iron heads need to go in favor of aluminums but I have not tryed aluminum heads yet to prove it

    Steering rack question

    Your either going to need SN95 inner AND outer tie rod ends or the MM bumpsteer kit. If you price out these parts it makes more sense to upgrade to the heim joint setup, which was already suggested.

    How many foot pounds to torque 1993 stock Cobra 1.7 roller rockers on cast iron heads

    5.0 down

    Do yourself a favor and sell/burn the MSD crap and put nice OEM parts back on. After that pull codes and see if it leads you to a bad TFI or not.

    Upper intake gasket question

    Yep, only a year old it should be reusable.

    Blocks, heads, Valve covers, oil pans, if you don't see it ask...
