1995 Mustang Engine Swap

mustang3194 · October 11th, 2009, 10:39 PM

thanks they arent that expensive did you just buy the springs or did you also get the spring isolators. and is that all you have done for suspension to your car?

Doc8224 · October 11th, 2009, 11:08 PM

yep just the c-springs and no isolators in back. Gives me the muscle car stance I wanted

mustang3194 · October 11th, 2009, 11:23 PM

o i c and i was lookin at the pics and it makes a big diffence, it would be nice to get the car a bit lower it seems like it rides really high

Doc8224 · October 11th, 2009, 11:28 PM

Yea yours seems actualy higher than stock almost. search ebay and see if someone is selling a set, I love the stance it gives and you can't beat the price

98Cobra_sleeper · October 12th, 2009, 12:41 AM

yeah the stance is real high. id consider just getting the qa1 kmember that comes with coilovers and stuff. get the whole suspension done in one fell swoop. when you do that you can also put the headers on at the same time. its an ebay store called uprproductsonline.com got the whole deal consisting of the kmember, upr coilovers, and the control arms for 540 shipped. thats sooo cheap

Doc8224 · October 12th, 2009, 12:52 AM

yea thats the best time to do headers. UPR is good stuff too.

98Cobra_sleeper · October 12th, 2009, 01:04 AM

yea u cant do headers without removing the kmember anyway, and u KNOW ur gonna do a full exhaust soon. you wont be able to help urself lol. just drive your car for a lil and fix the lil bugs that you'll come up against. while your driving it, start stockpiling parts and do things all at once a lil down the road instead of removing parts over and over again.

Very impressive Mustang3194. You tackled quite a project in a pretty short amount of time.

98Cobra_sleeper · October 12th, 2009, 09:53 AM

freakin rite he did. im impressed!

mustang3194 · October 12th, 2009, 05:26 PM

haha thanks to everyone who thinks so, few minor things left to fix like the a/c compressor, abs light stays on (we think its the abs module since it was a little bent up in the wreck), passanger door wiring doesnt work like it should and the keyless entry wont lock the doors but does everything else but all are not needed at the moment

mustang3194 · October 21st, 2009, 08:17 PM

Well we got all the wiring fixed but we also found out the a/c compressor is bad so we had to order a new one. Right now we are wiring the new speakers and amp in since im out of a car for a week.

Molitor · October 22nd, 2009, 02:22 AM

should just do an A/C delete, who needs cold air?

mustang3194 · October 22nd, 2009, 08:59 PM

lol yeah thought about it just to have the car for a week but wasnt worth it, it was over $200 to get it from a local auto store and we could have had it back driving same day but it was only $95 with shipping online so we opted to go with the one online and just wait a week, to me waiting a week and saving over $100 is worth it since cash is low

mpe331lx · October 23rd, 2009, 12:30 AM

Great Job! I recently did a 4v swap into an 01 GT. That B-headed 4v will suprise a lot of people with the right mods!

mustang3194 · November 2nd, 2009, 11:46 PM

does anyone know was side pipes sound like on a cobra, i found a used set on craigslist for a good deal, was thinking about checking them out but they are off the car already and i would be interested in how they sound

98Cobra_sleeper · November 3rd, 2009, 06:51 PM

what brand? roush made a set and i think borla did too. really since u got a cobra motor i believe they'll both sound good.

Ryan Paymaster · November 8th, 2009, 10:20 AM

Would the 5.4L 605HP Romeo motor swap into the 96? I know a new hood would be needed - but this could be done?

I don't want to make a new thread - just trying to research a bit before the purchase.

97mustanggt · November 9th, 2009, 03:48 PM

very nice swap, you should have done some headers while tha motor was out but its all good, also keep all tha v6 badging jaja sleeper. overall nice job

Kyle_H · November 11th, 2009, 01:44 AM
