About a few weeks ago I could smell coolant after I would drive my 98 GT. Last week I saw coolant on the floor of my driveway. I got my flashlight and looked under the intake and I saw coolant. Looks like its leaking since I do not have the updated one. Messed up thing is that Ford does not have a recall for my year. Its about $800 but since Im going to do an engine swap Im not going to repair. I asked the dumbass at service if I did the repairs which intake is he going to put in. He said the new one with aluminium and I told him why not put the original one back in, oh yeah its because it would crack again and leak. Im sending a letter to Ford dont think it will get noticed by anyone important but I have to let out this rage somehow before I totally go cold turkey with Ford and their products. For me its not bad but how about other owners that have to do repairs.

 

yeah, all their cars, including mercurys and **** before 01 had this problem, and ford never had a good recall or delt with the problem well. Just wait until you do a PI swap...

 

not true they made a new manifodl with a metal front part that will not crack, go to ebay or i think even here at Mt they sell the new ones. that have the fix.

 

PI head swap is out as it will raise compression. My Cobra engine is being built as we speak. New rods and pistions, lower compression. Eventually its going supercharged or turbo.

 

then who cares if it leaks.

 

Hey totally off subject but I saw a guy with an 03 cobra with a stage II turbonetics pushing 643rwhp and 711RWTQ a little crazy for a stock block but a vette killer none the less

 

Thats alot of hp, since power adder is Stage II of my project have not decided how much hp I would like. Since its a street car I dont want drag radials as we get alot of rain down here and dont want to have traction issues which a car with that much power would have on the street tires.
