cobra/gt crank the same?

97S281 · August 22nd, 2008, 05:31 PM

Is the forged cobra crank the same size and stroke as the gt crank? are they fully interchangable without modification?

AzSonicSnake · August 22nd, 2008, 05:39 PM

fairly sure the only difference is the amount of bolts holding the flywheel on...

HBK_2007 · August 23rd, 2008, 12:50 AM

yes, they are. example being the machs. the autos have the gt crank (no forged) the manuals have the cobra (forged) crank

SWEET2KSTANG · August 23rd, 2008, 01:23 AM

interchangable: yes

the cobra cranks are what most guys go to when they build.

HBK_2007 · August 23rd, 2008, 02:25 AM

can they be used in automatics?

Absolutely interchangable. The only difference is the flywheel.

Yes, they can be used with automatics.

Cobra cranks are all 8 bolts, so if you have a Winsdor engine, it's fully interchangeable without having to change a thing. i put one in when i did my rebuild...

Most GTs dont have windsors. But, your absolutely right.
