    Yeah, I am using the full 03 gt wiring harness into my car. I am also swapping the interior. We will be pulling the Gt motor sunday, we have been lazy with the wrecked car but I think it will be out in a few more days, then I get to prep for the swap! Oh yeah and I bought a set of twin...

    Quad City Area Mustangs

    Come on people we need to do a meet, I am getting in to a huge project (swap a 2003 gt engine into my 95 v6) I have a boat load of stuff to sell to. I have alot of questions for people, it sucks going from some I know (the V6) to the Modular Gt which is completely different all together. If...

    Stock 96-98 dyno numbers

    Well that helps explain why my H/C/I v6 can walk them all the time, the 3.73's really helped to. I really thought you put down more power than that.

    Cobra parts in 2v

    I'm in over my head already most likely but it's not the first time. I was shooting for 350 to the wheels on the v6 with a turbo kit thats just some piping short of being done, I just could'nt pass up this deal. Your right though, its a hell of a project, I am just trying to pick up as much...

    Cobra parts in 2v

    I am going to be picking up a wrecked gt as a donor car for my 95 v6. While I have the car I am going to be mocking up a set of turbo headers as I was going to do with my v6 (using stock headers turned around if possible) I know I can use the cobra teksid blocks but can I take the forged...

    I would be up for a meet. Make sure you PM me when you set up a time, I am not on here alot, no respect for the v6's. I am buying a wrecked GT I think so that will all change, things are going to get crazy.

    Is my calpier seized?

    I had a rear caliper freeze up like that as well, the lever the E-brake cable attaches to on the caliper was stuck and holding. I would try beating it a bit and turning it both ways.

    super302, I noticed your car on e-bay, atleast it looked like your car. Whats got you selling it? Mind if I ask how much you want? Oh and care to take me for a test drive? I want to know what the 32 valve feels like (had to word that carefully)

    Compatible engines??

    It's not even going to be 8K at 600hp. No I certainly don't plan on doing that N/A. There will be forced induction later down the road. I can pull the engine apart myself, $1000 for forged internals and a bit more for ARP hardware. Machine work is fairly cheap. That engine will be in my...

    Compatible engines??

    Even at an extra $500 I have not seen deals any better. An 01 cobra motor went on e-bay for $3500. Another Cobra motor with a cracked block went for almost $1400 plus shipping. I am looking at $900 shipped, I can get new valve covers for $150 and a block for about $300. I could not even buy...

    Compatible engines??

    What even makes you think its going to cost $8000 ?? Maybe if I paid someone to do all the work and bought a brand new engine direct from ford.

    Compatible engines??

    I am looking to swap a DOHC V8 into my 95 stang. I kow its alot of work but thats what I am doing. I am still learning about the engines and need to know which ones have the same aluminum block (hopefully teksid) The Lightning is a 5.4 but does it use the same block? I can get a complete...

    Well I am going to be getting my cobra engine next week I believe :nice: the block has a crack, probably going to replace with 03-04 if it can not be repaired reliably (as if they ever could). Where is the best place in the area to get work done on mustang engines, My bud goes to the Car Shop...

    You would know if you saw me, my car is a Black 95 I have a saleen type body kit and roush side exhaust. I have done a head cam and intake package as well as duals to my 6 banger. I recently dropped in an 8.8 rear with 3.73's as I was going to turbo the V6 but I am thinking a V8 just makes...
