So my 98 cobra started taking longer thann usual to start up. I noticed if I cycle the key a few times to prime the fuel pump then it starts right up, so that tells me it's not an air or spark issue. I initially thought my fuel pump was going bad, so I replaced it with a brand new one, but the...

Hey guys. I'm installing a new timing set on my engine (98 cobra) the secondary chains and sprockets went on without a hitch. I put the driver side primary chain on and all timing marks matched up perfectly. BUT when I went to put on the passenger side primary chain the timing mark is off one...

Hey guys, just wondering if there are any specific things I should look out for/know about before installing a new timing set on my 98 cobra (doing this in addition to a head gasket replacement): 1 - Do the tensioners need to be soaked in oil prior to installation (read that in another thread...

So I'm going to be replacing my head gaskets in the next couple of weeks. Ive decided im going to go ahead and pull the engine for this project. Im already planning to go ahead and order new oil pan, valve cover, and timing cover gasket sets too. The car has about 160, xxx mikes on it. Is...

Hey guys, I'm going to replace my spark plugs as I have never done that since I've owned the car (just under 2 years) and figure it's cheap preventative maintenance. Which of these motorcraft plugs would you guys recommend? Motorcraft Mustang Spark Plugs (86-04) - LatemodelRestoration.com...

Hey guys. I just got a set a nitto 555r (275/40/17) for use at the drag strip. I've never used DR's before, so I wanted to know what PSI I should run for the track. I was thinking 20psi cold or somewhere around there. Thanks Bolt-on 98 cobra, K&N fipk, LT's/full exhaust, tune, 4.10s.

Hey guys. I'm sorry, I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times. I've been thinking about removing the black heat insulator from my hood and polishing up the paint to look real nice, but I wasn't sure if the engine heat would case the paint to bubble or any other negative side effects...

Hey everyone, I'm thinking about putting black emblems on my bright atlantic blue cobra (grill, fenders, and trunk). I've already got dark/black accents (smoked headlights, tinted taillights and reflectors, gunmetal gray wheels, and black rear bumper letter inserts) so I thought the black...

Hey guys, quick question from a friend of mine. Need to know where the fuel filter is located on a 2011 5.0 6spd. Thanks

Well, like the title says, I'm finally putting the 4.10's in my 98 this weekend. Will be pulling the whole rear end out of the car Friday after work and taking it to my friend's house (he has all the tools we need, press to remove/install bearings, dial indicator, etc.), and possibly start...

I'm going to be having 4.10s put in my 98 in the near future (next month or two), and I'm planning to most likely rebuild the T-LOK while everything is taken apart. It still feels ok, and leaves two solid strips of rubber when I spin the tires, but the car has 161,xxx miles, so I figure, why...

Hey guys. My friend just bought a brand new Evo and he's been hounding me wanting to run it against my bolt-on cobra. I'm really curious to see how it's gonna go. Just waiting for the local drag strip to open in March. I looked up some specs on the Evo, and it's making 291 hp and 300 tq...
