Cobra engine swap

*venom* · 01-19-2005, 12:58 PM

Ok guys I know I have talking about this for several months and I am finally making progress he are some pics of the block back from the machine shop :wav:

*venom* · 01-19-2005, 01:04 PM

Here are some of the crank, forged pistons, H beam rods

dmkx3 · 01-19-2005, 03:52 PM

cool block. how much power are you thinking? please keep us updated

*venom* · 01-19-2005, 04:05 PM

Not sure as we are not going for more power than stock but reliability when forced induction is added. I will also put on 4.10 gears and a bump up timming. I am not sure what else I will have to get maybe headers.

mmm...forged blocks...mmmm Lookin good man, glad its finally coming together. What you doing about the heads and cams and stuff? Stock?

hey there is a roller rocker package with solid lifters that helps out alot!!! I'll research to see where I saw it. It was in a recent issue of MMFF

*venom* · 01-19-2005, 09:12 PM

I am going to keep the heads stock as I am not going all out right now since this will be a street car and not strip. I want about 400-450 at the wheels at stage 2 of the project. I think anything more will be imposible to drive on street tires and I dont see the point of having a 600hp street car if you have traction problems. Of course Im saying that now but you never know. I definitly want a turbo set up as I miss my old SVO stang. I like sound of a v8 with a hint of a turbo. I think I read that article and it made the biggest difference when a power adder was added with the cams. Since I dont want my wife to enroll me in MA (Mustang Anonymous) im going to pass on doing anything extra. Im not doing the engine swap but a local speed shop is doing it for me. So as you can guess its going to be quite a few pennys. On stage 2 I will install the turbo and have it tunned.

so, its gonna be a forged and turbocharged 4v with 4.10's and street tires at stage 2? I hope stage 3 is a new tranny, rear end, tires, maybe a few suspension mods

. Be cool on the street and be fun to beat people at the track even though your running a 2.5 60' lol Good luck with it, it sounds like a beast in the making

I have not done any major suspension work since the whimpy motor I have now does not have issues with traction. I will be replacing suspension stuff after the new block gets put in.

WhiteDevil · 01-21-2005, 07:32 AM

LOL, yah, good call. That will be a fun as car either way though. Cant wait to see time slips on that car
