I've got a long block from a 97 cobra. I purchased it in 2018 with the intentions of building a boost motor but have too many issues with the car itself to do any motor work.
I purchased it from Bill Fox's Mustang in PA. They claim it has 50k miles on it. I've never started it up or done...
Looking for a set, or the passenger side headlamp for a 96-98 cobra. This is the clear lens headlamp.
Rear should have printing like this, if it doesn't, I don't want it. There's a stark difference between OEM and China afternarket:
It doesn't make any noise, but I can't exactly shake it hard either. It's pretty sandwiched between the mufflers and the headers so there's not much give to shake with.
That's what I thought but I just changed the H-pipe August of last year. It's got less than 100 miles on it. I suppose it's possible since BBK has been known to have quality issues with their cats. I'll try shaking it and report back.
Ah yeah:
1997 4.6 bored .20 over back in 05. 20k miles on the rebuild, 103k on the block. Shop did the rebuild.
MAC CAI
MAC 5/8 longtubes
BBK catted H pipe
4.10 gears
Rebuilt T45 in 2009 probably 6k miles on it
Stage 2 clutch
Aluminum driveshaft
MSD coilpacks
Nothing outrageous just bolt ons...
Hey all,
I posted here a while ago asking about engine troubles and rod knock.. well that drama is still ongoing.
I brought the car to my normal shop and they of course couldn't replicate the sound there. Said they drove it for an hour and there was no sound. Cleaned the MAF and it pulls just...
Also here's the shop my friend referred me to - out of Rochester NY I guess

If anyone's got any experience with them.. They seem legit, hell of a lot closer.
Just called the shop, talked to the owner again who said:
"Its a 52k engine out of a car that took a passengers side front end hit, we make sure the engines run well before we sell them"
I asked about a compression check which they don't do. I asked what the warranty on the motor would be -...
All valid points on the used engine, I'll call and ask them today. Anyone have experience with Bill Fox's mustangs out of Dover PA? That's the place who's selling the engine.
I spoke with an engine shop here that would do it for around 4k. They have experience with that motor and feel...
