Cam covers, AFCO, KB 2.2, 03 Cobra Installation Pictures - Some assembly req.!
I have been busy this past weekend! You would think I was replacing a head or something. It is like a grenade went off in the engine bay.

I posted pictures of the parts recently, now I am installing them. Everything is pretty easy - just a lot of disassembly. Luckily, the parts and bolts are clean which helps.

Install list:

KB 2.2L
60 lb/hr injectors
Ford GT spark plugs
Redfire cam covers
AFCO H/E
HID lights

Removal List:
Lots of low mileage parts soon to be for sale.

Steeda strut tower brace
EGR system
Stock Eaton blower
Stock H/E
Stock injectors
Stock cam covers

Intermediate Removals:

Driver's seat
Brake booster system
Clutch cable
Front bumper

If anyone needs a picture of something for your project before I start buttoning her back up, just let me know!

I'll be adding more each day...

The Parts Stash


My Garage is Full


AFCO vs. Stock H/E Comparison


Just About Every Harness Connector is Removed




Intercooler Pump[






Thanks.

All of 7000 miles now and never been in the rain so it is pretty clean.

I did not get to work on it much today - just cleaning parts. Tomorrow is the cam cover install day though so I will have more pictures. I have to get these babies on!

Just a good Motorcraft plug that is one heat range colder than stock plugs. With Tousley Ford's discount they work out to be reasonable (like $3.30 each which is near the over the counter NGKs.) I prefer to use Motorcraft plugs.

Actually a Direct Lift from gregsmithequipment.com. I was very happy with the construction (compared to Eagle Ones, etc.) Although a Rotary would be great too, this lift was a reasonable ~$1600.

They are easy to install. Let me know if you have any quiestions on them. You just need the garage ceiling design to use them!

This was back when my Cobra and (now former) Mach1 were together.


The first lift test...

I put in the dual FPDMs, upgraded wiring kit, FORE hat, dual GT pumps last month. I am adding the 60 lb/hr injectors with the blower install. More details here: Parts Installed - IRS brace, fuel system, polished exhaust

UPGRADED WIRING, DUAL FPDMs, FORE HAT, GT PUMPS - knocked about 25% off of the peak fuel pump duty cycle

Some people are truly mechanically talented. This reminds me of my brother in law. His shop is very similar but its one bay bigger. Hes a mechanical engineer for BMW and used to work for Daimler Chrysler and Moroso. He mostly rebuild rotary engines in his shop and restores old mazdas.

His shop is bigger than his house lol

Small delay on my project.

I have decided to powder coat my heat exchanger brackets as well as the KB inlet plenum (both in ultra chrome).

I think I am going to sell the Redfire cam covers and have my take-offs powder coated too (TBD color).
