The progression of my engine bay
Well my engine has been through many phases in the time that I've owned the car. I thought I would show a little "slideshow" from beginning to current.
Unfortunately, I don't appear to have pics of when I put the JLT on, but you get the idea. When I bought the car, it was stock: ![]() ![]() I put the Ford Racing coil covers on it. Next, I put a JLT ram air intake on the car (Not my pic): ![]() After I saved up some money, I started the Eaton swap: ![]() These coil covers were orignally the chrome Ford Racing ones that I had powdercoated and are still currently on the car: ![]() This was before I got brackets for the shaker: ![]() Then the enine blew up about a year after the Eaton swap due to a bad fuel pump, so the '04 Cobra long block went in: ![]() ![]() And here it is in the shop after dropping the engine in: ![]() Obviously with the bottom end being much more stout, some go-fast goodies went on: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then in November of '09 I got a state ref ticket and had to take the car back to pretty much stock: Well I guess I don't have pics with the stock pulley and none of the Billetflow idlers, but the car was back to stock engine-wise. This is a pic with the stock intake though:

And finally, as it sits today. A JLT ram air intake has gone back on and hopefully this is how the engine will stay for a while. Also notice that it now has a black BF 2.76" pulley instead of a red one. I destroyed the red one swapping the stock pulley back on:
![]() ![]() ![]() And that is all the changes that my engine has gone through in the last three or so years. And a quick break-down: Started life stock. Changed the CCs. Installed a JLT ram air intake. Bolted the Eaton on with stock intake and all stock Cobra parts. Dropped an '04 Cobra longblock in and put a 2.76" pulley on with 63lb injectors and a JLT high boost intake. Had the chrome Ford Racing CCs powder-coated. Did a full Billetflow idler pulley set-up. Put the stock 3.65" pulley back on along with stock intake tube. Finally, re-installed a 2.76" pulley again with the BF idlers and the JLT ram air intake.
