Cobra engine swap write-up

shadow98gt · October 13th, 2009, 11:53 AM

Ok so i just got some more shyt in the mail

I got some Valve covers ($30 on ebay) , Forged Crankshaft ($295 on ebay) and UPR Chromoly Tubular K member($350 on ebay). I will take a few pics 2nite so you can peep the goods. later this week i should have my timing cover($50 on ebay) and UPR CC plates($160 on ebay). The next thing on my mile long list is either PP the heads or Pistons, rods and rings. I have a few questions though, the first is oil pan. I have my old oil pan from a 98 GT. I'm almost positive that it will fit, but i am putting a supercharger on it, so should i upgrade to a performance 7 qt oil pan? On that note, i plan on reusing the waterpump from my 98 and was wondering if i could do the same with my oil pump? third question is where should i go to get bolts, gaskets and sensors? I obviously know where to get them( that being a ford dealership) but i was wondering if there was any place that would be cheaper. The engine that i have now has nothing as far as bolts, gaskets, sensors, etc. It does have the crankshaft bolts and caps but thats about it. Thanks in advance.

hey man just curious, how much is the whole build going to cost you do you think for just the parts for everything. Just wondering

shadow98gt · October 13th, 2009, 01:40 PM

Well lets see. So far i have spent a little under 3k for Block, heads, crank, S/C, and some valve covers and a little bit of suspension upgrades. And i have a lot left to buy so im just ball parking but prob between 7-8k with me doing most of the installation myself or with help from my neighbor and some of my mechanic friends.

Hey i have a eaton S/C of an 03 termi. What throttle body should i get for it. The engine is a 96 cobra though and i found a 96 cobra Tb for cheap and was curious if it could work. Only 5hrs left on the auction though so make it quick.

Military98stang · October 13th, 2009, 03:48 PM

thanks for the info man. I was only wondering because i found a new complete termi engine and 6 speed with all the nuts and bolts and wiring needed for the swap for 10 gs so i was wondering which way i shold go thanks man.

shadow98gt · October 13th, 2009, 04:51 PM

ya its prob pretty close to the same in the end but i don't have 10gs all at once to do it i can only buy a lil here an there... so this was the best route for me...
