coryscobra

wow- I thought they were the same car less intake and blower- live and learn.

No there is a ton of diffferences. The Cobra has an iron block and forged internals and is 8:5:1.

ha.. its about a 65 part swap

Yeah I wouldnt do an eaton swap...IMO.....way to much shit to deal with. You are correct about 65 parts to many. lol.

Nitrous can be done easily on a Cobra motor. I never changed plugs, and only got race gas because I didn't do dedicated fuel.

If I got a shortblock and put rods and pistons in it and did 10:1 or 11:1 compression how big of a shot could I do on Pump gas?

03 cobra......

I would rather have my car than a 03 Cobra. My whole thing is if I get another car I just want to be able to go fill up on pump gas and have fun with it which probably would be an 03 Cobra. If I kept my car I would set it up that way. With Nitrous it was a pain in the but when someone called to race, I had to check or change the plugs, go get race gas, and fill the bottles. It really kinda got annoying...even though Nitrous is amazing.

Im the guy who's very interested in this car, but I know how guys can change their mind overnight.

With that in mind, I will wait this out a week to see if you are still serious.

In the meantime, I have many things that can help you.

I have a Forged shortblock (never run) waiting to go in someone's car.

9.75:1 Diamond Pistons, Cobra rods and crank.

Aluminum block

Just add Heads and an oil pump and youre ready to go.

$3000, no waiting, thats a steal!

Just ask Killjoy how reliable this engine will be, he is familiar with the builder of it.

Wow!!! Yeah man just give me a few days to think this over.

I know you are not sure what you are going to do Corey. I just wanted to remind you that my shop will be open to you should you decide to put another motor in the car. I spoke to my connection in Wisconsin and he said he would he give me a hell of a good deal on a Vortech kit. He did say that regardless of which power adder to put a good set of rods in it. He is building a mach motor for a customer as we speak who got greedy with to small of a blower pulley.

 

Let me know how I can help.

Yeah, Thanks Brian. Preston told me about the deal with the Vortech, that is damn tempting!! Sorry I didnt answer today when you called...I was sleeping as you know I did not sleep at all last night before.

sorry i had to... see sig. Corey put it back together we'll all pitch in and help.

LOL. Yeah I see that. Thanks man.

Cory I would just put the car away for a bit and let it sit. Then once you feel the need to fix it then bring it back out and fix it. Honestly if you are not planning on getting another car to replace it right away, you will miss it, ask me how I know. Anyways I do not know to much about fords motors but I will offer my help if you need any, I also have a trailor that I can trailor it for you locally if you need. I wouldnt sell it just yet.

Thanks Sam I appreciate it man.

I hate to be the asshole to ask, but what'd it make pre-explosion?

At 3500 it made 420/580!!!!!!!!! It was on its way to make a lot of power for a stock bottom end.

My bud sent you a PM on the Mach1 Registry. He is VERY interested. Please get in touch with me, or him.

 

Thanks!

 

KillJoy

You have a PM.

Just let it sit for a bit man. Cars can get really annoying, but, let the emotions leave and it gets better.

Yeah thats what everyone is saying....Preston told me to do that also. I already have a few kids offering me some shorblocks down south that I know pretty well (one of them is a teskid!!!) for dirt cheap. They know I love this car.

The car threw a rod threw the block on the dyno. The car with a shortblock would be completely DONE and ready to go. The car is extremely clean. It sounded great. It has 58K on it. I really hate to do this but I dont have anymore money for the car budget so the car needs to go. Asking $12K or make offer.....dont be afraid to make an offer but please be reasonable.
