Here's what the original Mach engine currently looks like:

So, this is going in sometime next week: ('04 Cobra longblock)

Image


Along with these parts...
Out with the old:

And in with the new:

Image


JLT high boost intake:

Still have a KB boost-a-pump that will be here Monday and some TR6 plugs and 63lb flow matched injectors that will be here Tuesday. :D:D:D

Figured everyone else was showing off all the money they spent, I might as well too.

:tomato

I'd like to thank D'Agostino Racing along with Trick Tuners for getting my parts out quickly and at a great price! Can't wait to put all of this together!!! :cool:

Nah. She gave up the ghost. But it's just an excuse to build it bigger and better! :D

What are you doing with the left over pieces of Mach engine?

Sending the longblock back as a core. The rest of the stuff that wasn't needed after the swap (intake and such) was sold a long time ago.

Some nasty looking carnage, but the new setup will be sweet.

Time to get a Whipple.

I'd love to. But for now the upgrades have taken all the extra money for the build that I have right now. Somewhere down the road, she'll definately get a KB/Whipple. :D

There's been more progress today. Should have some more pics up later. And hopefully a start up vid!

Made a vid of the first start up. The midpipe was loose and a few things weren't plugged in or 100%, so it didn't idle very well and sounded like ****. After that, we finished tightening everything down and got it all together and running! She runs like a champ now.
