    The transmission tunnel is pretty small as well, and the frame rails are in the way of most exhausts. I plan to put my step fathers pipe bending skills to the test. He's the real mechanic, I just play mechanic on the weekends when the shops closed :D

    I've never had a fuel injected car before, I've had an '82 pick up and an '87 quigley 4x4 van. The pros are definitely worth it so I will look into it. And as far as headers I was thinking of using the original explorer header plate and welding my own equal length primaries and collector to...

    Just a question, although I do know a few welders who might make a supercharger possible in the future. My real question is IF I do go that route in the future would I have to get another cam? Because I don't want to be swapping cams here and then doing it again in about a year. But I will worry...

    I will say this, I'm glad I didn't spend any money on the motor from the second cobra II. I'd be devastated. But I got my ford explorer 5.0 today, $225 with a 45 dollar core I probably won't do. As I was hunting through the yard I saw Superchargers there were only 95$. Would I still be able to...

    All I have on this phone are pics of the donor car I got the motor from (new phone). I'll get some pics when I'm not busy with school, work, and football. Probably this weekend.

    I understand now. I'll be going to the junkyard on my next free day to get this thing started.

    Thank you! So it's not so much as I need to go bigger as it is I need to go newer. I thought something was funny because my step fathers trans am 5.0 with a 4 speed threw you in the seat and I expected this to come a little closer. Luckily My parents own a repair shop so I have access to...

    My names Corbin I'm 17 and new to the forums. I bought my first car recently, a 1977 cobra II, after driving my step fathers 89 trans am for a while. Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with this car but I'm not gonna give up. I want to do a swap on the mustang. I was wondering what it is about...
