can someone tell me what is stock and what belongs to the Kenne Bell Kit? This is how the engine bay looks right now.

The benefit is they give you some low end Tq.
The downside is the cables seize/break, the motor freezes up, and the plates just get gummed up.
Deleting them and throwing on a tune gets rid of one future headache.

No battery connected due to the engine bay being half apart but this is what the previous owner installed for stereo. No idea how good it is, I always kept stock stereo or removed it in the past
My 17 GT has the stock system and my Fox and 03 have the stereo removed.

the very cool part of now having two SN95 cars is that stuff on the shelf leftover from the blue wannabe racecar fits the Cobra.
Set of Steeda swaybars freshly powdercoated and Carbondriven goodies are already waiting to be installed.

Absolutely great quality, tight but very good fitment. Scary to press the items into place but the tight fitment makes it completely firm, no rattle, no moving like the stockers sometime do.

Found a stock air filter housing on my parts shelf, are they all the same from 96-04? This is probably out of my GT.

also found a MAF, part no YC2F-128579-BA, anyone know if this will fit a stock intake tube and work with the stock engine?

Some time zone
would a Lincoln Aviator engine fit and work without changing the PCM and wiring harnesses?

It can work. Treat the aviator engine as a "long block" and swap everything else over.

Its been a few years, but Im not sure if you need to swap the timing covers as well.

Woohoo, just found a good set of oem terminator wheels on the back of the shelf. Along with two 10,5x17 replicas. Just need to buy new tires.

Getting this car back on the road in Switzerland proves to be way more difficult/expensive than I thought, turns out I probably paid too much for it but I always wanted a Cobra and finding a black on black coupe locally was a lot of luck.

If only I could find an oem midpipe here in Europe

You're making nice progress. Sounds like you have a very extensive parts storage area. New finds are coming up frequently. How much parts storage do you actually have? Any photos?

My hubby runs a Performance shop, specialised on Mustangs and I have been collecting parts ever since I bought by first Mustang back in 2003. So together we have a huge shelf of parts and I sometimes forget what is hidden at the back.
This is a pic when I first got the Cobra to the shop, this shows one corner of the shop only. Will try to get more later.
