Did some underhood changes on The Bitch

[snakecharmer]

Just got her back from having some updates done. I had the intake powder-coated, custom-cut plug wires to help tidy-up the wiring mess, pulled out the wiring harness for the MSD that was no longer needed, a new custom over-flow tank , and some redoing of existing wiring harnesses to make it neater. I've got chrome valve-cover bolts coming in a few weeks as well. I had added the strut tower piece earlier, which is also a custom unit based loosely on a 99 STB with the 96-98 cross-brace.

And while the intake was off I spent a couple of hours with some polish, rags, and a toothbrush cleaning up things you can't normally get to. The pictures don't really reflect how much cleaner it is, but it is. Gotta make sure she does not get rained on for a while.

Wow, that looks fantastic. Can't believe you drive that in the rain?

 

[Callaway Cobra]

That looks good.

 

[TRBO VNM]

Looking great Eric. Really like the wire cleanup and the coolant tank.

 

[IronTerp]

looks great. I was about to say "what happened to your sonic?"

 

[98cobraRx]

Looks great man. I see you did a C-head swap. I will be doing the same thing this coming winter on my 98. If I pm you do you mind helping me out with tips and lessons learned?

 

[sunburned]

Looks awesome Eric, that thing is spotless.

Do you have a C-head swap? I didn't even notice the '99 intake before.

 

[snakecharmer]

Yep. Other than the A/C, power-steering pump, and the wiring, there's not a single part from a 97 DOHC left under the hood. The heads are 04 Cobra (revised ones), with a mild port job. 99 Teksid block, Mach I cams, 01 Cobra Intake, and a bastardized 03/04 Cobra Hellion kit. Just ask, Jason, he'll tell you just what a red-headed bastard step child my car can be, and why she EARNED her name, The BITCH.

That is one beautiful engine bay. You can always tell who keeps and appreciates their cobra's the most by the way the keep their engine bay. I would believe your snake looks just as good on the outside and inside as your engine does.
