so after digging and searching for ways to get my motor looking better...yes i said looking better, lol. not so much faster, just look cleaner.

i decided to get the moroso expansion tank, the polished stainless radiator cover, painting the valve covers body color, already relocated my battery to the trunk, ford racing plugs and wires, pi intakes getting painted silver. i've already tucked and hidden 3 vacuum hoses and 2 hoses going to the cai. that made a huge difference.

so i'm ordering all that **** monday and slapping it all on asap, lol. i'll get pics.

Good choice, I'll be doing something similar this spring. My car has almost 170 on it and it running with the original water pump, reservoir (which is leaking a bit), radiator, which I patched this summer. It's definitely time for a refresh.

^yea i was gonna just get rid of the coolant tank and relocate a smaller one, but i like the look of the moroso one for these cars. anythings better than the horrible stocker. GL with the refresh my man

If you think your threads suck because of lack of responses, it's more likely the fact that you've pretty much covered everything and we can tell, based on previous post and the condition of your whip, that you know what you're doing. Post of some before and after images and you'll get more responses.

hahaha, yea. good point. i'm such a newb with sn95's.

A coil on plug conversion will eliminate your coil packs and plug wires. It is definitely a cleaner look. I am thinking about doing it when I put a turbo on because I would have to relocate the coil packs anyway.

deff go COP. im doing it this winter. it cleans things up so much

 

[MombaMonster]

are your valve covers painted BAB as well, or just the ford color? cant tell from the pice, but they look amazing dude!! sick engine bay!!

deff COP, delete egr also

what is some things that can be caused by deleting the egr valve? i thought about doing this as well but kinda worry bout side effects, lol.

 

[allstateguy]

can someone supply a link to a COP step-by-step for a 96 GT? I'm putting a PI intake on soon, and would like to do this at the same time.

EGR delete will raise combustion temperatures, so you're gauge may reflect that your engine is running a little hotter. Most people that I've seen that do delete the EGR is get a Thermostat that opens at a lower temperature.

I did the cop conversion the easy way. There was someone on corral.net that was selling the harnesses all made up to do the conversion. Otherwise I have seen a step by step on here somewhere, should find it with a search.

Id like to do a clean up on my cobra too. Good idea. Good luck

Egr delete is completely pointless, they're hardly noticeable on a 4.6, just leave it there, no power loss so why do it?
COP is a nice upgrade, surely cleans things up, just costly buying coils, I had MSD before, they look nice and pretty in red.
You say you're painting your valve covers? If so, smooth the fins right out, looks custom.

when i deleted mine the OT raised 5-10 degrees no big deal and it free'd up an essential piece of real estate especially when your doin plugs

 

[MustGT98allday]

i will be doing both egr delete and cop conversion this winter. theres a guy on corral.net who makes the conversion harness. i havent bought one yet but it looks reall nice and clean and all loomed up and everything. his names redmonster

 

[1996 GT]

Sub'd for pics.

 

[THE RED 1]

theres a guy on SVTP that has the COP harness also
