termi swap has begun!!!!

nutnbutcustm · September 5th, 2009, 10:29 PM

So i have an 01 cobra and have been toying with a power adder,then it happens a friend has an accident in his 03' termi so project cobranator begins.....the motor is a stock bottom end with worked heads,stage 3 ported eaton,throttle body and plenum,it is stegmeijer (or however it is spelled) ported,moroso front mont heat exchanger(water to air with icebox) billetflow 2.76 pulley,jlt intake and tune.

i am also swapping the fuel tank and pumps. as well as the 6 speed

with a spec 3 clutch with firewall adjuster and quadrant with short throw shifter.and ofcourse the cluster.

i will be swapping the hood,front bumper,black housing clear lights,hids and fog lights. also the mirrors and side skirts and vents.

i am probably going to swap my irs for the 03' version for the better axles and it has 3:73's instead of the 3:55's im runnin now. will be swapping the entire front k-member with the swap basically im going to have an entire 03' termie with only 23,000 miles on it!! i got this car for stupid cheap!!

if anyone has any pointers or tips on this swap please,please send me any info!!!

Cricket · September 5th, 2009, 10:31 PM

my tip is get a different supercharger, and give me the eaton

Good luck with the swap, take lots and lots of pictures.

SWEET2KSTANG · September 5th, 2009, 10:32 PM

unhook everything that is connected to car (hoses, wirings, etc), disconnect front susension, trans, and drop strait out of the bottom. very easy.

congrats on the purchase.

nutnbutcustm · September 5th, 2009, 10:32 PM

oh yeah almost forgot im going to be taking lots and lots of pics and posting them here

Lefty · September 5th, 2009, 10:33 PM

I'll be hopefully starting an Eaton swap in the next few months...

You're gunna love the swap!

nutnbutcustm · September 5th, 2009, 10:34 PM

thanks guys,so it will be easier to just disconnect everything and swap the entire k member? i thought so but wasnt sure. and about the blower am i saying that right? stegmiejer? it has the name and a serial number stamped on the front but i cant remember how it was spelled? lol

nutnbutcustm · September 5th, 2009, 10:37 PM

and the dyno results of 609 were before the moroso heat exchanger,dont know how much of a difference that will make in hp but i know it runs a LOT cooler!

and i may be selling the eaton if i can find a kenne bell replacement.

Lefty · September 5th, 2009, 11:32 PM

Don't forget to upgrade your IRS/suspension.

SWEET2KSTANG · September 5th, 2009, 11:35 PM

its not all that bad really, especially with it being just a swap over.

nutnbutcustm · September 5th, 2009, 11:51 PM

is there any type of list or how-to on the swap? there are a few differences im seeing and would be awesome if i could find a walk through!

and im swapping the irs out of the 03' untill my solid axle gets built,going with posi ofcourse and 4:10's fully built.

nutnbutcustm · September 6th, 2009, 02:36 AM

anyone? is there anything in particular i need to know about the swap? and looks like im gonna have to do it the old fashioned way as i dont have access to a lift,let alone 2 of them,i really wanted to just drop and swap the k-members with everything intact but looks like thats a no go.

if i pull the radiator out can i pull the motor and trans together?

SWEET2KSTANG · September 6th, 2009, 05:52 AM

you can take everything out from bottom if you get car high enough, its no big deal. just need to have something to put under k-member so you can roll it. i personally drop everything, unbolt trans, lift motor strait up, and trans will come out from under the car. here are some pics of when i do mine. not detailed how to, but you get the idea.

nutnbutcustm · September 6th, 2009, 01:01 PM

what all did you have to disassemble to remove the motor? did you have to remove the headers/manifolds? i really wanted to pull the motor and tranny together but if its easier i will pull them seperately. and why did you pull your intake? i wanted to leave the entire motor together i didnt figure i would have to pull anything off the motor?

Mach Boy · September 6th, 2009, 02:25 PM

You can leave the tranny attached if you want to. Some do it one way some do it the other.

SWEET2KSTANG · September 6th, 2009, 10:04 PM

i pulled the intake to get to cooling lines and wire harnesses easier. i also do it so there is no chance to damage manifold and easier to lifting chain. i disconnect d/s off the diff flange, unhook cat back if on stock manifolds (unhook at header flanges if l/t's), lower everything down, and take apart if lifting motor out the top. if rolling out from underneath it, then just roll it out.
