They have a small oval ford symbol...

    04 cobra factory Pistons??

    I bought this set because I only needed 1 piston but my machinist messed up the hone and I have to bore it. I was told they came off an 04 cobra. They look a little different than the ones that came out of my 03. They are the same compression as the 03, they are marked ford on the inside. 7...

    What mods while engine is apart?

    Bone stock 03, had a bad piston. While it is apart I am going to do the coolant mod and was thinking of a supercharger pulley. Of course that would require new injectors, belt, and tune.....anything else?

    do I need to replace cam/intake/blower bolts for head gasket change?

    I searched and could not find the answer. I found reference to the cam and intake bolts being "stretch" bolts so I am unsure if they are reusable. I put new head bolts in as they are TTY. AFAIK this engine is factory thanks
