What do you think? Project car!

Motor is in. (5.4 32V)
Dropped it in with the LT's attached.
Trans is next, as the clutch didn't get here.
Pics when I can.
Also installed the front bumper cover, etc.

This is an amazing build. You are building the Mustang Ford should have built IMO. I'm curious, what does your 5.4 swap kit consist of? What is needed to start with? I'm looking to buy another Mustang and would do a street 5.4 liter engine swap in my future project.

Sending PM.
I will be moving to Texas (Victoria area) within the next month,
and the Cobra is coming with me.

You have to give me a ride in that thing! I'm about 2.5 hours north, but that would be worth it to see this beast.

I hit you back on the PM. I'm actually living in Lawton OK right now, (military). I'm doing some shifting around over the summer for training and will be heading out to El Paso TX in June. If I get a chance while I'm back in San Antonio I'd love to see your car in person.

 

[birdman941]

I went and put the shifter in.
I couldn't wait.

Wonder if I will get any sleep? :??: :shrug:

Great job Birdman, looking forward to videos of it! Absolutely top notch.

Car is running and driving.
She fired right up first shot.
Unbelieveable power this 5.4 has.
2nd gear, 25 mph, part throttle,
makes mincemeat out of the 275/40/18's out back.
Will be cleaning it up tomorrow and take some pics and maybe vids.

 

[olgreydog7]

You better get vids.

 

[birdman941]

I will if I can get the camera working.
I have another one I can borrow though.
Want to get it all cleaned up, change the oil, put new plugs in, etc. first.
Now it and its brother (Mach 1) are peacefully side by side in the garage.

Where did you get the LT headers made for the swap? I can't wait to here dyno numbers.

 

[birdman941]

I modified an off the shelf set.
Once it is all said and done, I hope to develop LT's for the swap.
Also, with the ones I make,
you will actually be able to use OE studs and nuts, and have access to them.
O2's will be in a good spot also.
I am guessing right now she is easily at 400 RW.

 

[birdman941]

Testing new camera.

What happen to your building up thread on Mach 1 Registry? I can't find it. :shrug:

 

[birdman941]

It was archived at my request.

I have not yet had a chance to detail under the hood or the car itself.

Vid in a sec....................

 

[birdman941]

A little dark, but you can hear it.
Huge thanks to Al Papitto for the magic under the hood.
