WOOHOO
I justs scored a complete drive train out of a 63,000 mile cobra today > I've been talking to the guy for weeks now and he's been ready to do a 03/04 term swap on his car and he just bought the motor this week > he called me and asked if I still wanted it > HECK yea i want it > he sold it to me for 2000.00 and I drove the car before we pulled the motor > it's 11:15 p.m. here as I write this > and I'm beat the motor is now in my car and I'm almost done hooking the engine harness-up tomorrow i'll do my headers and the drive shaft and then the open header fire-up get's underway heheheeheh

What year cobra did the drivetrain come out of ?? Another '98 ?

Sounds like a fair price, good job.

$2000 for a Cobra motor with 63k, very nice but what car did it come from?

 

[jeremy canter]

whoops sorry forgot to add that little tid-bit of info > YES it did come out of another 98 cobra ( Chrome Yellow ) which does make me sick > the car was in better shape than my own cobra !!! HE PAYED $9000 FOR THE CAR AND ONLY DROVE IT 500 MILES AND THEN SOLD ME THE DRIVE TRAIN ??? HE SAID IT WASN"T FAST ENUFF >
I drove it and let it idle for about 5 mins and it was a deal > the guy is doing a term swap (cost him $9000 more shipped to his house) and is going to gut the car to do it >HE could have just bought a nice term for that kinda cash !!!
I pulled the dash cluster and motor/trans in three hours > had it in the truck and payed the man > I couldn't believe how clean the motor and trans was you could lick it > it was that clean .> he even hooked me up with a set of BAER DECELA-ROTORS that he pulled off the car because he didn't like the way they looked ????
the motor is in and hooked up all wiring is done > I just have to put the power steering pump on the motor and the A/C pump > and find some long tube headers and x-pipe > the headers I have won't let the smog stuff bolt on with out cutting or bending the crap out of the tubes>
anyone want a set of PACESETTER headers? hahaha
any way It was a very GOOD week-end for me and I even got my new throttle-body on the car > now I just have to get the d@m cold air intake on it and under the hood is done> I can almost see the finish line > next week-end if it's nice I'll finish putting my 3:73's in the rear >

Pretty cool. How long has your car been sittin' and what'r you doing with your original motor?

 

[jeremy canter]

it's been sitting for almost 6 months and I'm REALLY ready to drive it > I'm so close it sucks > I can't wait
as for the old motor I have enuff parts to build a second motor easy> I was planning on parting it out and making some of my money back > any offers? hahahahah

 

[jeremy canter]

Well EnglishTown car show/ swap meet was good to me last week-end > I DIDN'T get my headers which is what I went there looking for but I did score a Alum drive shaft and TWO spare Nitrous bottle's and the shock kit for my hood . hopefully i'll get to order my headers later this week > :|

 

[jeremy canter]

I broke down and spent the cash yesterday and ordered the BBk chrome long tube headers they should be here early next week and they'll be on as fast as i can get them on I can't wait to see my neigbors windows rattling . hahaha I have to start looking for a x-pipe now. > I also ordered cross-drilled vented rotors for the back and a new plate holder from ford for the front of the car as mine didn't have one on it >I'll have to borrow a second jack from some one to get the front lifted back up in the air and on the stands so I can get my fat butt under it .thank god today is my last day before a four day week-end > I need it .

 

[jeremy canter]

3:73 gears are in > cross drilled rottors are on the front >now I need a new rear abs sensor for the rear
whoops > / still waiting for my headers to come in

 

[eliteJAE]

Good score man, looks like it's all coming together.

 

[jeremy canter]

headers cam in Friday . I will have to wait till this week to put them on as I'm on nights and don't even want to look at the car right now. I really want to hear it open headers , but not bad enuff to stay up and work on the car after 12 hours of work >
as I was getting ready to put the rear brake back on the car I notice the one slider for the rear was seized up and wouldn't slid like it should > does anyone know if they sell replacement rubber covers for the rear brake sliders? mine are dry rotted and torn. I might try to find new slide pin's too they look like crap.
I am going to stop by Autozone monday morning after work to look at what they have . As for now the car is just sitting on four jack stands with all the wheels off. it looks pathetic I can wait to drive it .

And to make matters worse I found the truck I want . It's a 2000 F-350 Super Duty dually turbo diesal ( red) and the guy only wants $8000.00 for it > I was going to buy a supercharger for the cobra but now i want the truck . The car might have to wait to go charged till next year . I need a tow pig to haul it back and forth to the drag strip .

 

[jeremy canter]

I got the passanger header on today > I have to pull the pan because i can't get the dip-stick out of the block >so if it's warm enuff tomorrow I should get the driver side on > and then I can check it off my list

 

[jeremy canter]

well the truck was a bust > it was really beat so thats not happening > the brake parts came in today > and the BBK x-pipe > still have to do the drive side headers hopefully it will stop raining and I can get some work done >
I also ordered the Maximum motorsports drive shaft today > I'll throw that in after I finish the header .

 

[jeremy canter]
