    Engine 93 Cobra new pedestal RRs reuse bolts?

    With new Crane pedestal mount 1.6 roller rockers on AFR165s, can I reuse the stock 93 cobra rocker arm bolts (from the Crane/Ford 1.72s)? They appear to be similar length and there’s no free play when mocked up. The bolts that cam with the new Crane RRs appear to be a different thread count...

    Best Exhaust For A Grand

    So I bought my 5th foxbody last November, my teal 1993 cobra. My third cobra and I finally got one I think I'll keep for a while! Anyways, it has the rare black cloth interior, some AFR 165s w/ a TFS intake and the usual bolt ons, gears, exhaust, etc. So my throw out bearing broke in half a...

    Fox New-to-me 93 Cobra: Speedo/odo Cable/gauge Noise?

    So after a near-10-year hiatus from the fox body scene, I picked up a teal 93 cobra a couple weeks ago... and it's my daily driver for a bit (insane? yeah probably... but I love it) Overall the car has been very well taken care of and modded nicely. No major issues, but plenty of small things...

    looking for a new project

    http://autosource.biz/Page/Pre_Registration.htm the bottom line up front: is this website for real? It looks kind of shady to me... anyone ever use it? The backstory: I'm returning from my third deployment. I've been in the Army for 10+ years and it's taken me away from my hobby that I 'grew...

    1993 Cobra

    CAR IS SOLD>>>>>> Thanks!! Black on Grey leather, 5.0, 5 speed, 206K miles. The car runs and drives but needs a lot of TLC. Mechanically all it needs is tires, an exhaust gasket and a front end alignment. Cosmetically it needs about everything: paint, carpet, seats recovered, lights, seals...

    cranks neutral balance, internal/external

    Question here is differences in external/internal balanced cranks. External balanced cranks require that the balancer and flywheel be on when you balance the shortblock... right. I THOUGHT that internal balanced cranks meant that the rotating assembly is balanced without the balancer and...

    Who knows about rod/piston/crank specs?

    So I had this used engine deal go wrong, and I came out of it with just a good set of eagle rods and a 70 351W block. Now the Ross XL400 pistons were worn too much the shop says, and they recommended going with a cheaper piston anyways to replace it, since I'm not running a million HP. But I...

    Engine builders/Machinist, got a cylender surface Q

    So I bought this 69 351W all forged stroker a couple months ago and I'm about to put it together and build it. AND I noticed some lines/scratches along two of the cylinder walls. They're just big enough or deep enough to feel. I'll probably pull those two pistons to check the rings, but my...

So i found this 89GT 5 spd for 3500 and bought it... and fell in love with it. I sold that car when i had enough...

    What is my complete 93 cobra engine worth?

    So i just bought the 93 cobra with 205K miles that needs paint, seats and carpet. It already has a tremec and built rear end and sub frames, so I'm doing a 393 or 408 build for it... I'm thinking of selling the engine complete, TB to pan. What is is worth? It has the high miles, has never...
