True story. Can't be much worse than a snapped crank bolt and a broken head cooling fitting.

Think of it as practice. Lots and lots of practice. By the time you're done you'll probably be able to build a Cobra motor and swap one into the car blindfolded in a weekend.

Good luck.

...and I hope I don't get any unpleasant surprises this weekend. No headgaskets and no head tick. Although I got video of the engine running before I got it and the only thing I did was cams. I must have checked my work about 20x on the cams.

That sucks. That's why I changed everything before putting it in my car lol.

96-GT_Josh · February 3rd, 2012, 01:25 PM

I have a pair of cop covers if you need them. Im pretty sure the ones from a 97 mark 8 4v will fit. If they do there yours.

Im going to run the 2 coil/wire set-up. So i dont need them. Just send me a PM if you want them.

Also there is a guy close to me on craigslist selling the stock eaton off a termi for 350 i believe.

The headers im buying today for my 4v swap.

STANG34 · April 13th, 2012, 11:26 AM

Well shes done!!!

STANG34 · April 13th, 2012, 11:28 AM

Only question i have. The hydraulic valve lash adjuster is ticking? One suggestion was to up the oil to 5-30 instead of 5-20..thoughts?

termi_GT · April 13th, 2012, 11:29 AM

Looks very unsuspecting!

WickedSnake00 · April 13th, 2012, 11:57 AM

Congrats!

I went with 5w-30 anyway. The drop to 5w-20 was mainly for fuel economy improvement.

I'm not sure how much difference that will make with the last adjuster. At least changing them is fairly easy.

btw- got mine started last weekend. Going to try for a longer run tomorrow and get it on video. It sounds absolutely evil.

STANG34 · April 13th, 2012, 12:19 PM

lol ill try and post a vid once i get my magnapacks on. Will i have any big issues with the last adjuster ticking? any many things to worry about? you cant hear it outside the car. just turn the radio up if anything for now

03Black2v · April 13th, 2012, 02:38 PM

Nice! Is that a SkyJacker lift kit you have on that thing?

STANG34 · April 14th, 2012, 01:18 AM

03Black2v · April 14th, 2012, 01:41 AM
