I have the article scanned, but the images are too large to attach, and It will probably lose clarity if I try to shrink them.
Give me an email and I will send them.
No problem, I have been following your cars build ever since it "set the bar".
I'll scan that article for you tomorrow and send it to you for referance data.
Post, or PM me with an email address.
They actually called them comp 185s. The article went into detail about the special cnc porting and moving the exhaust opening up .125 (i think)
They also said stuff about light trick valves and other differences from the regular 185's.
I will double check tonight. I can probably...
They have a test on those heads in July of Car Craft. They made 479hp on a .030 over 302 with a carb, vict.jr intake, 13:-1 pistons and a huge cam.
Pretty impressive considering stock block, crank and rods!
They are exactly the same lenth. Steeda makes the 5/8" spacer for anyone who switches to a fox style trans/bell housing. The sn 95 body is actually longer between the engine and rear end, but that is why the longer input shaft and bell housing make up for it. the driveshaft is the same.
I got my 95 mustang running last night but it was not the normal setup to do it.
I have the dart pro 1 alum 170 cc (13111181) heads on a factory oem 93 mustang shortblock with a trickflow stage 1 cam (.510 +\-) and factory ford hyd. roller lifters. I am also running Comp. Cams 1.6 silver...
They are not the same as 87-93 ones. I think the fitting is the same, but they are held in/on differently. I would stay away from the aeromotive ones. I had the baffle fail in mine twice before i bought a kirbin. No problems since.
You also might check to make sure your caliper pins are sliding in the bracket. I had that problem and it ate the pads quickly before I figured it out.
I believe it. We have the same thing here in Cincinnati. My car along with many others will always run .15-.2 seconds faster at Tri-state than what it can run at Edgewater.
Yeah 13.85 at 98 recently. the 13.5x pass was a one time deal that I never did duplicate fully. It only ran in the 50's one other time and that was a night run at Bradenton in florida in awesome air. 13.65+/- was all it would consistantly run.
I think 350+ passes on the same longblock is...
If you have to take that notch, you could sell it for scrap if it is shot. We get $120 per ton for scrap at our local scrap yard. We have to take the gas tank and tires off of them, but they take the rest of the car.
Just a thought.
I am supposed to be getting a turbo pace car this weekend, so I should be able to get you some pictures of how the turbo goes and works.
I was not trying to screw you out of your door emblems, I just didn't want to see them get pitched.
You got a great buy on the Cobra. There is alot...
That looks like a 79 cobra to me. Those are 79 cobra door panels. Is there a spot on the dash by the right vent where a round emblem is/was? There is no way to tell if it was a cobra by the vin, but if it had a turbo, the it is a good chance it was. I have a 79 cobra 5.0 auto. If you take...
The hood seperation, is when the top layer of fiberglass of the hood comes apart from the lower structure. I am pretty sure it happens right at the front lip of the hood. I think the repair involves adding some glue or something in that area. I don't have a stock hood anymore, so I never had...
I got one out of a junk yard. I believe it came from a Taraus. I don't remember what year. You might contact a Ford dealer to cross referance the part #
Sorry if I did not help much.
