Did the top of my motor a few weeks ago and pulled the coolant crossover tube out and wanted to replace the O-rings. Standard size O-Rings dont seem to fit So I had to reuse the old ones. Didnt have any problems until last weekend I noticed a little coolant weeping above one O-Ring. I went to...
With 144,000 on the car and winter settling in it was time to do some work on the car. Change antifreeze, hoses, clean imrcs, belt etc... the whole front and top of the motor was apart this weekend. Spun the alternator heard bearing noise so it came apart. Then I went to my idler pulley and...
Has anybody put one on the 96-98 cars and if so was there any hp/tq gain because of it? If so how thick was the spacer? I got some scrap aluminum about 1" thick and was wondering if it would be a waste of time to machine it into one.
Ran across a guy with a 96 Cobra that he says came from the factory with a 5.4 motor. Said he ordered it like that.
I kind of admit Im skeptical because it was the first year for the 4.6 and a 5.4 in the car sounds a little like..........
The car looks all stock but i didnt see the motor...
I got a whole bunch of wires for some new gauges and some wires for my nitrous system that need to be run properly into the engine compartment. I had a fuse blow on me today and found the grommet had come off and let the wire short. This was the hot for my nitrous box after the switch. As soon...
I came up to the traffic light last night and up creeps a yellow CRX with custom rims and color matched interior. Pure rice. So the light changes Im off he sqeals his tires I get into second and he slowly walks me. It took forever for us to hit sixty. He puts his hazards on and Im ashamed...
Im tearing into the MK8 motor. It came out of a 1996 Lincoln. The Valve cover sticker says 11/21/95. But Im looking at the camshaft caps and find an F70E-6B277-AB. I always thought ford numbering went C-1960's, D-1970's, E-1980's and F-1990's. The F7 part would mean a manufacture in 1997. This...
Does anyone know what the stock LPH rating is on the 98 Cobra. I am usually good at finding this stuff but I did a search on this site and came up empty- handed. :shrug:
So Im minding my own beeswax one fine thursday afternoon when out of nowhere (actually the right lane) a Chrysler Crotchfire pulls up along side of me. Glancing over to see the middle aged divorcee on her way to the local watering hole I was dumbfounded to find a couple of thirtysomethings with...
So this guy starts revving his engine everytime he gets alongside of me in traffic the other day. Its one of those Audi TT cars and it sounded like he had a bad exhaust. It really sounded terrible. So it turns into three lanes and traffic opens up a bit. I get next to him two lights later. As...
Its getting to be tire time for the Cobra. I have a '98 with bridgestone potenza's that are all through. I got stock rims and Im going to 4.10's soon.
The car is really starting to come alive and I need to put the power to the ground. What hp, gears, and et's are you guys getting and with what...
Just picked up a '98 Cobra on thursday and its a gas. This is my sixth mustang overall and I havent owned a sports car in 5 years. I also owned a couple of camaros at one point. The Cobra is much more refined than any other mustang Ive owned. I got a great deal on it and I worked the price down...
