Doing some research on the '00 Cobra R they mentioned some issues about clearing the shock towers and frame rails with the 5.4 DOHC. The article I read talked about using special motor mounts and shimming the stock engine cross member to lower the engine about 1/2". How could I do this and/or...

Yep, the '97 fuel rails will fit the PI intake and you are best off using your '97 wiring harness. Also, your coil packs will bolt right up. The ONLY modification you need to do to the wiring "might" be lengthening the wires going to the driver's side water temp. sensor if you put it on the...

I've got some questions about the Navigator 5.4 DOHC engines. I'm thinking about trying to put one in my '96 Mustang GT automatic. 1. Are the Navigator cranks forged? 2. Can I bolt that block right into my Mustang? 3. What do I do about exhaust on the 5.4 DOHC in my Mustang? 4. What's the...

1. Your MAC exhaust will all bolt up. 2. All your pullies will work..... you're not going to use any of the newer engine's pulleys anyway.....you will be using EVERYTHING from your old engine except the intake manifold. 3. Only the '99-'00 valve covers are different. Those years used...

Ok, the reason you need to swap over parts from your '97 engine is that the A LOT of parts for the '99-'04 engines are not compatible with your car. 1. you need the '97 timing cover 'cause the accessories are different & won't bolt up to the newer covers. 2. You need the '97 valve covers...

Ok, I know nothing about 5.4 DOHC's and Mustang swaps. I have a '96 SOHC automatic Mustang GT convertible. 1. What non-Mustangs have 5.4 DOHC engines? 2. What's the difference between the heads/cams/intake/exhaust of a truck 5.4 DOHC vs. a car 4.6 DOHC? 3. How do I get "Cobra R power"...

I've got my heads off and want to do a little home porting. They're '04 PI's. Does anyone have any opinions/experience doing this?

Yep, the starter has to come out

Yes, you can have two remotes.

I just swapped a '04 GT motor into my '96. Here's what you need. 1. Your '97 timing cover 2. Your valve covers (unless you get a '99/'00 engine 'cause those are different) 3. Use your existing ignition, throttle body, IAC, exhaust manifolds (some newer manifolds "might" not fit) 4. Keep...

Hey Guys, Well I got all the fittings for the line lock...... FYI the Hurst Line Lock fitting kit is a rip-off..... you only use two adapters and a uniion that cost about $5 total at local auto parts stores. Anyway....... I do NOT have an MC1 port on my ABS system ???? There are three...

Hey Guys, I just bought a line lock from Biondo racing, but the last line of the instructions says "not recommended for anti-lock brakes". What do I do?

I just put an '04 engine in my '96 GT. I re-used my '96 throttle body, IAC, TPS, EGR. Can I use the '04 IAC with my '96 computer/harness? Where do I find a IAC gasket? Also, could I use the newer '04 EGR valve with the '96 computer/harness? In both cases (IAC & EGR) they appear to be...

Well, as far as I know, ping IS hurting something..... my rings, my pistons, my rod bearings. I don't want to grenade the motor on 150hp worth of nitrous 'cause I overlooked something. I'm just scared to run the bottle.... or even just let this go without fixing it for that matter. If I...

I tried to cycle the fuel pump (key on, but not start) 3-4 times and I still have the "ping" at startup. I am using the stock ('96) MAF which I just removed & cleaned the wires on (the first thing I tried). I am still running the stock chip. I'm baffled & scared as hell about running it on...

I checked the injector plugs already, but I will double check them. I changed the fuel filter yesterday. The engine "seems" to do it less when warmed up, but it still happens. It is definitely more prone to this "ping" when cold. What are you thinking about the on/off with the key? I'll...

If you can pull/install a transmission yourself, then just change the throwout bearing. If you have to pay someone....tough call. The throwout bearing will eventually tear up the fingers of the pressure plate, but then you'd be replacing the whole clutch anyway...... Maybe just let it go...

The '04 sensor was destroyed in the accident that got the me the engine. Does anyone know anything about the crank sensor & "star gear"? Are the sensors/gears interchangable. I'm running out of ideas here...... Has anyone run into this problem where the car "knocks" only for 1/2...

Well, I changed the oil filter & it still rattles for 1/2 second on start up. After listening more carefully to the engine I am 99% sure that it is actual "spark knock" and not oil related. I am using the ignition crank "star wheel" from the 2004 engine, but the magnetic pickup is from...

Wow.... an oil filter???? I've never heard of that, but it's cheap enough to just try so I'll give it a shot. FYI it's one of those Fram PH2's with the "grip" on the end & I put it in during the engine swap. Thanks for the help.... and just curious... why does it cause this problem on...
