2000 cobra r engine

[Fourcam330]

I am looking at building a 5.4L 4v engine. I perfer it to be cheap and produce the same numbers that the 00 R did. I am having problems finding some of the parts. Is there some sights that i don't know about? Also is the ford gt 5.4L block the same as the 00 R except it is aluminum instead of cast iron? How about the heads? Any other help would also be greatly accepted. I am looking at putting it in a 98 gt. I am also wanting to turbo the car. Any idea how well the engines do with boost? I am also very surprised at the low these engine's compression ratio's are compared to other sport cars.

I agree, but he said in the first post that he was just looking for something around the same numbers as a '00R. If he would have said that he wanted to build a '00R 5.4L replica and get as much power out of it as possible then I wouldn't ever have suggested the 5.0Loke:

:-D:beer:

Not to drag this out, but reread what he posted. He stated that he wants a 5.4L 4v that produces around the same power as a '00R motor. oke::beer:

Sounds like a job for Boss 330 to me.
The 00"R" motor was relatively low compression. (9.5 I think)
A 5.4 32V can be installed into an SN95 or new edge.
With factory parts, no less.
I am currently making LT headers to fit them. (With "C" or 03-04 heads, not "R" heads)
Also, doing 2nd design upper intake.
A comprehensive kit is nearing completion.

so birdman what do you think i should do? How much am i looking at? how many fab parts am i looking at? I am also looking at rebuilding a 93 foxbody, it has the 5.0 with 60k original miles. has elderbrock heads, long tube headers, nitrous, msd ignition with 6box, i was looking at putting a 460 in it but having trouble finding a 460 block cheap. I have found a few but is all the 460 blocks the same? even if they are 2 or 4 bolt mains? and 4v heads for those? I don't know everything, i am just trying to get information before i got and spend 20k+ in parts.

Wait for Steve's (Birdman's) kit. His work is top notch, you won't be disappointed. :beer:

The 5.4 32V won't fit a fox without major strut tower surgery.
SN 95 and new edge, no problems.
I spent ALL WEEKEND measuring and designing LT's for the swap,
and the 2nd generation intake.

i wasn't wanting to put the 5.4 in the fox body i am wanting to put a 460 in it. the 5.4 is going in a 98 gt.

 

[birdman941]

Sorry, my bad.
A 5.4 32V into an SN95 is easy.
Expensive but easy.
If you want torque, gotta go with the Aussie Boss intake.

why dont you just put a 5.0 engine in it and turbo that?

karkraft sucks i spent $500 dollars on their alt relocation kit and all the required things to relocate the alt on my 99 cobra, i called asked if it would fit they said it would. i get it and not only did it not fit my car, but the bracket wouldn't clear the power steering and brake lines, It took me 3 and a half weeks to re engineer the kit. and after my phone call they put up a disclaimer saying it would not fit, Great thanks guys. i also had to buy about 150 dollars in other stuff that they did not mention. So overall i would never do business with them again.

we apologize for your installation issues. your question was "does it fit a cobra engine?" the answer is yes. you never said you were putting it in a Mustang. we would gladly refund your purchase if there is a problem. thanks

:lol::lol:

You market primarily to mustang owners and thats your excuse for it not fitting??? He never said he was putting it in a mustang? Thats some :bs:

 

[birdman941]

Don't be fooled!!!!!!!!!

Kar Kraft is selling a "Boss 290" engine according to them.
It is not even close to a Boss 290 spec, more like a Boss 260.
Wrong compression, wrong cams, etc.

I KNOW about this stuff.

I sent you a PM.
I have one kit for 2500 plus shipping.
Includes intake and a bunch more.
Even though the thread is a bit old, don't want to ruin it.

Interesting. So, if someone buys this part they are to assume the bracket will work on the motor. However, it won't fit in a Mustang chassis? :rollseyes What else did the Cobra engine come in?

New engine pic as promised.
Now has new final design upper intake, but still deciding on EGR.
Also waiting for shipment from Australia for Boss intake plaque for the lid.
Should I run EGR?
What do you guys think?
This is how the kit install will appear when finished.
(My camera is acting up today for some reason)

Hi Steve,

Just sent you a PM regarding a set of long tubes for a 00R..I purchased all of the components in stainless from spd including individual flanges and slip-on collectors, but my guy backed out...can you fab up a set less the flanges and collectors out of 17/8 stainless?

thanks in advance

 

[birdman941]

Replied to your PM.
The best thing I can say, is to modify a set of Mach 1 headers
that has the driver side tubes with 2 on the outside of the steering shaft,
and 2 on the engine side of the shaft.
That can be used as a template.
I know the manifold bolt pttern is different between the 2.

Will that boss 290 intake fit on a 99 cobra mustang DOHC 4.6?
