00 GT to 03 Cobra swap (final steps w/ pics)

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 03:23 AM

Ok, thought i would do an updated thread on my swap. Finally after almost 5 months we got the motor installed into the car and I am now just putting everything back together. Here are some pics of the install of the motor.

after finally getting it in, didnt take but a couple hours.

and did a little more work on it yesterday. Got the pulleys on and finally got a belt that fit with the 22% underdrive water pump pulley. Got the lower supercharger pulley on and the pulley bridge.

I dont think the stock hood is going to fit lol

sweet man. now im not a big fan of engine swaps but if you dont mind me asking what was the cot to do all this so far??

08blkgt500 · August 10th, 2010, 03:29 AM

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 03:32 AM

Right now probably close to 7k, when im done probably close to 8k

01stangV6 · August 10th, 2010, 03:34 AM

not bad man. i was going to say why not sell your gt and put the money from that and that 7 or 8k and buy a real cobra but cobras in my area are going for more so nm. is that engine new? and is it the 5.4 im guessing

btw i will get back to this tomorrow. its almost 4 in the ******* morning! lol

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 04:54 AM

lol no the motor has about 30k on it. And no its just the 4.6 out of an 03 cobra

6ER THEN I 8ER! · August 10th, 2010, 05:28 AM

nice swap OP..time for a nice cowl hood maybe

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 05:30 AM

oh thats definitely on the list lol

MeMz · August 10th, 2010, 10:36 AM

Just run without a hood and show everyone what your reppin dawg!!

Jk you need to hide that thing and let everyone know what you got after they think your just a gt

weems · August 10th, 2010, 11:37 AM

Is that a 2.76? What size lower are you running?

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 12:13 PM

its actually a motoblue 2.75, i think its the smallest offered lol. And its just the stock lower for now.

Reloaded · August 10th, 2010, 12:26 PM

Very nice looking. Glad that you've finally made some progress on it and got that lower on! So I'm guessing a GT hood has less clearence than a Cobra/Mach 1 hood? Or is it sitting higher than usual for some reason.

Ninjawafers! · August 10th, 2010, 12:28 PM

could you just cut the hood under the hood scoop to make it fit? i know that was done by a sixxer that did the m112 swap

I think someone offers a 2.65 but I might be mistaken. You think you're going to have any belt slip issues with that 2.75? You have the billetflow idlers?

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 02:07 PM

yea i have all billetflow idlers with the snub aux idler as well. Also Reloaded, can you pm me your number, once i start getting everything bolted in im gonna need some help with with the tech stuff.

B's04gt · August 10th, 2010, 02:13 PM

So the cobra motor just drops right in and bolts up? no problems?

TheUNZippee! · August 10th, 2010, 02:20 PM

the power is going to be the 24/7

ZoomZoomMFer · August 10th, 2010, 02:25 PM

yea, it is basically the same motor with bigger heads.

and zipster, its gonna be something like that hopefully lol

AzSonicSnake · August 10th, 2010, 02:27 PM
