Well the "stop leak" did something, it's not leaking any more. We dont think it was coming from the bolt hole, but from the oil pan gasket immediately above that bolt. I will try to get a better look at the front end pulley above the front end of the pan and the locations you suggested to...

1999 SVT Cobra... generic 4.6L issue, I think. I have an external coolant leak that I think is coming from the front of the oil pan gasket, the passenger side bolt, of the 2 front bolts that have that supplemental bracket/reinforcement attaching the pan. The leak does not begin until the...

Thanks White! I appreciate the advice! Nice setup. You have me rethinking FA as an option also. What about a 5.4L as a replacement for the 4.6? Besides an aftermarket hood, what else will it take, tech and dollar wise? I went to local shop today and a reputable tuner/engine builder...

My son's 99 Cobra has apparently blown a rod bearing. So say the small local auto mechanic. (Fairly loud metallic rap, about 2Hz at idle, rpm dependent, rear drivers side of the engine. Sometime it will go intermitant for a brief second or 2). Ruled out Tranny/Bell housing. Ruled out the...

Will the hooker headers (or others) mate up to a Pro-chamber H pipe? (same one I use on the MACs?) Might be time to do this all over... But I almost have my son convinced that we are better off going back to stock... I have absolutely no doubt that my big oil consumption spike increase is...

Thanks for all the great advice... This will be a fun weekend... I wrote an email to MAC Performance Tech Support and asked if the headers had to be pulled to remove the bell housing. I got 2 email replies within 1 minute of each other. The first said YES. The second said.. "for 5 speed...

Agree. If you are a drag racer the solid rear axle is something to think about... However, if you value the overall performance of your car in the twisties, perhaps a spin about PIR during a DE weekend-- then an IRS is for you! All things equal, a tricked up IRS will wax a solid car, lap...

Yup... burning about 1 Qt every 1000 miles. Barely in spec, but consumption has zoomed up since the headers and the Prochamber went in. What is your experience? When that bell housing hit the header, I cursed and came very close to removing the headers, for good. :p That not as bad...

More problems... TXSnake- Thanks for the great advice and link to the OUTSTANDING procedure. Well documented. I ran out and purchased another 12" of 1/2" extension, and I was able to get at the top bolts. 30" was perfect. It was a knuckle buster to break the torque by hand, but I did it...

Working on my son's 99 SVT.... He says that while in 2nd gear at about 25mph and on the throttle, he heard a 2 second grinding sounding (like clutch grinding), followed by a metallic tapping. He was close to home, shut it down and he and buddy pushed it the rest of the way. I fired it up...

Does such a thing exist? Anyone use a late model HELM manual for the mustang and car to comment how thoroughly it covers the Cobra? Any suggestions ?

Avenger... Thanks !!! I had to pull the wheel off and the fender skirt to get at it. Now I have the CCRM in hand... For grins, I drilled the pop rivets and opened it. I figured that it might be simpler to jump the AC WOT relay inside the CCRM than on the harness, thus preserving the...

Thanks for the post... Agree. I'm going to trace the wire harness. No bracket in the near vicinity of the engine cooler reservior on my car. Can you give me a measurement from a fixed coordinate, say the cap of the reservoir? How big is it? If anyone has a picture, I would really...

Anyone done this? First, I need to find it. Not obvious on first look. I suspect it may be in the fender (passenger side). I am ripping into it tomorrow. Second question... I'm not keen on spending $190 for a new one, so I thought about hacking it. I don't care about AC Compressor...

DEAR Moderators... I am not sure what your policy and tolerance if for cross posting this in another forum, so I will refrain. Please feel free to move this post out from SVT to the 4.6L section. I think the AC is the same in Cobra/GT no?

Take off the CCRM, or he entire AC ? :D Florida... no way can he survive without AC. I don't think the car can function without the CCRM.

Your price is very fair for a car in the right condition. I just bought a 99, and did extensive searching. I suggest you include in your ads that you have the 99B27 fix in it. Most folks suspecting 99s will want to be sure of that. I paid 13K for a 99 with 52K miles. Stock, except flow...

AC blowing hot with no voltage to the compressor. Took it to the shop and the guy says the problem is the CCRM. The WOT is falsely grounding out power the to the compressor, even when not at WOT. I have yet do my own voltage chacks to verify, but, assuming it is accurate.... Guys wants...
