I have a stock drive train '97 Cobra. This morning, the damn thing wouldn't start. The starter turned the engine normally, but upon closer exam, the motor was turning but there was no compression. My mechanic said he had seen this twice before and suggested cranking at WOT for 30 seconds...
I've done the search and spent over an hour reading. I have a bone stock 97 Cobra, and it has run warm since I bought it with <10k miles. I have the stock guage, but my mechanic checked it against a comuter guage, and it's close. Mishy and Fluidyne are a nono, but the oem 03-04 don't really...
Aside from different PP/flywheel bolts, are there any other modifications that have to be made to put an '03 11" clutch in a 10 1/2" 97 Cobra? Is it pretty much a direct swap???
Thanks

I have a friend who pulled the blower off of his 04 with less than 5k miles. He offered it to me in exchange for a firearm. What would be required to put it on my 80k '97 Cobra?

I just got my 97 back from my mechanic. He's Ford certified, and runs his own shop, as well as being a ranked Outlaw racer. Several days ago, I went out to start the Cobra, and it wouldn't start. The motor cranked, but it turned freely-as in no compression! My first thought was the timing...
My 97 just hit 65k, so I thought I'd change the plugs. After I pulled them out, I noticed that they were two different part numbers. The ones in the right bank were ASWF 32E, and the left ones were ASWF 32EG. Both banks had the factory paint on the end, but the colors were different. Surely...
My 97 has allmost 50k miles, and still has the original coils, wires and plugs. Are any of the replacement parts better than others? I'd appreciate some suggestions.
Second on the list is a cat back. What is the difference in the 97 exhaust and an earlier Fox body LX exhaust. I happen to...
Most of my performance time and money is spent on my 89 Saleen, improving power and handling. My 97 Cobra is virtually stock, with the exception of H&R springs, Bilsteins, M&M cc plates, and Global West rear arms.
I'm looking for some cheap, easy horsepower, and a chip seems to be a good...
My bone stock 97 has been running warm in recent hot weather.
I've been checking all the Mustang sites looking for good ideas, and I recently saw a thread that suggested an adjustable fan thermostat switch. Like a true idiot, I didn't write down the name or model number for the switch. I...
I've been to a number of sites checking out cooling problems and solutions. My 97 is bone stock for now, but I'd like to run a little cooler on really hot days. Overheating my first aluminum block holds little appeal.
Some of the basic solutions were anything from a lower temp thermostat to a...
I have R's with 275/40's, BBK specific rate springs (660/260), '03 Bilstein struts and Tokico adjustable shocks.
Should I expect any clearance or steering geometry problems>
Thanks
