Robs4valve · December 26th, 2010, 10:34 PM

I'm new hear and plan on being hear a long time so I thought I would introduce me and my car. My name is Robert and I have big plans for my 96. For now I'll keep it simple and just show a fue pics of my car and what I'm working on doing.

When I bought it this is what it looked like after a bath

After I sprayed some single stage paint so it didn't look so bad.

And with my staggered Volks on it.

I'm working on the mark8 swap now and it should be reedy to put in about the 2nd week of Jan.

Mark8 out of a 97 w/114000 miles on it

Cleaned up a little

Robs4valve · December 26th, 2010, 10:45 PM

With the 99 cobra exhaust Manifolds in place. You can see the 2 erg pipes that need to be made into one. I think I will wait until I get my old 2 valve Out and use the mark8's and gt's egr pipe to make the new one out of. So I can keep the cobra one stock for a possible cobra intake swap.

Paint looks pretty good man.

wicked96gt · December 26th, 2010, 10:47 PM

Looking real good. Keep up the hard work. I like the wheels too btw.

Funny you say that about the paint I couldn't stand the green and had the whole thing sanded down by the next week and now it's primer black. I've had the car about 3-4 weeks now. Im putting in a tubular k member when I swap the motors. You can see a little bit of the k member by the jack if you look hard

wicked96gt · December 26th, 2010, 10:58 PM

Ha let's see some pictures of it primered black now.

Robs4valve · December 26th, 2010, 11:05 PM

I haven't takin any yet but I will. I think it looks good with the gold Volks. My wife also got me 4:10's for Christmas. So I'm very happy with the progress so far. And don't plan on letting up for a while on this build I have wanted a mustang for a long while now!!!!

wicked96gt · December 26th, 2010, 11:11 PM

Ha that's cool! What other plans do you have for the car?

almighty396 · December 26th, 2010, 11:14 PM

I'm going to have a turbo on a built motor in a year or less I'm going back to pick and pull to get another mark8 long block next weekend to fully build to run at least 18-22 psi of boost I always liked this set up just not the manifolds not being ran backwards.

I Have had these for years. I had a Nissan 240 turbo and spent like$3200 bucks on them and just never sold them.

Robs4valve · December 26th, 2010, 11:36 PM

Any one got any links to mark 8 swap's others did? I can't find but one.

wicked96gt · December 26th, 2010, 11:54 PM

Damn, sounds like a nice setup. Can't wait to see it finished.

Robs4valve · December 27th, 2010, 01:47 PM

Robs4valve · December 27th, 2010, 02:16 PM

I really want to do away with the coil packs and use the cop's that the 99-up's use. Anyone got any info on re wiring packs to cop's?

zinc-vert02 · December 27th, 2010, 02:26 PM

sharkbait · December 27th, 2010, 02:29 PM
