99/01 Cobra Eaton Swap Write-Up

Lefty · September 3rd, 2009, 12:06 AM

5'-6' now. I'm not a very tall person

My dad's 6' 1", 210 lbs and my mom is 5'. I got the short end of the stick but oh well

My dad was 5'5", 120lbs all the way up until he was 22. Then he finally started growing. The doctors are thinking the same with me, but it is what it is

Hmm...I'm a skinny fucker....6'3" @ 160

i have an 01 cobra coupe,i have access to a 03' term. full car wrecked in the rear. should i bother with a full swap or just swap the supercharger and 6-speed? is there anyone that can tell me exactly what needs to be swapped for the full sha-bang?

if i just swapped the s-c and trans it would be the term minus forged internals right?

any help is appreciated

If the motor isn't damaged at all, I'd swap everything out. That way you can have 6 speed and the 03 motor that has forged internals

yeah but from what ive read its a pain in the ass? anyone have a list of what i would have to swap? i think the term is drive by wire right? the throttle is electronic not cable? and what all wire harness' will i have to swap out?

wraitherlx · September 4th, 2009, 12:22 AM

or better yet. if youve got a teksid block in yours then you can swap everything over into the teksid block

wraitherlx · September 4th, 2009, 12:25 AM

05 and up are drive by wire the termi's still have the throttle cable. and if you are going to do a swap then you might as well pull everything. ECU, ECU harness, intrument cluster, basically everything.

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 12:26 AM

so your saying dissasemble the blocks and swap internals? i dont really want to do that. i am planning on a stroker motor right after christmas thats why i was thinking just do the s-c and then upgrade my shortblock in january? i would like to just swap the whole driveline but does anyone know where i can find details of what all needs to be swapped? fuel tank?lines?harness'? gas pedal? etc.....

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 12:28 AM

oh very cool,so basically just unbolt and unplug the term and swap it in,then swap ecu,and inside harness? will i have to swap any other harness'?

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 12:29 AM

and im putting a boost-a-pump and fmu,should i still use the term tank or will my oe cobra stuff be ok?

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 12:30 AM

and hey i lived in va. beach for 2 years,i still have a few good friends that live there! i miss that place!!!

wraitherlx · September 4th, 2009, 12:48 AM

if the tank isnt too damaged then definetly snag the tank. Basically if you just want to swap it out then all you have to do is pull all wires, long block, and tranny and then throw it in your car.

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 01:01 AM

but will i have to change the fuel lines? what about the harness for the pumps? will i have to run a new harness all the way to the tank? so im basically gonna have to rewire the entire car?

Lefty · September 4th, 2009, 09:30 AM

Just pull everything from the 03/04 that isn't damaged and swap it into your car.

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 11:57 AM

i think it is very worth it i got the car with 23,000 miles and just a damaged rear bumper and quarterpanel,i dont know why they even totalled it out? but i only payed 3000.00 for the car. it has a pulley,jlp intake,full bassani exhaust,chrome fr500's. and i drove it of the tow truck into my shop! i would just repair the car and have 2 cobras but i dont really want a previously wrecked car with a salvage title.

wraitherlx · September 4th, 2009, 12:02 PM

what are you going to do with the IRS?

nutnbutcustm · September 4th, 2009, 12:06 PM
