[QUOTE="98 svt, post: 15941184, member: 183643"] I know this is the Terminator section, but I need to confess. I have not driven my 98 Cobra since 2010. I spun a bearing on the original engine back (140k) in '09. Bought a 4.6 Aluminator shortblock through Tousley, had the heads done at MHS, and had it all installed over the winter of 09-10. Less than 500 miles later, the oil pressure drops again and it overheated. I argued with Ford and the shop, and no one was willing to man up. I literally let the car sit in my driveway, under a car cover, for 8 years. I know, I know, shame on me. But all that work and $$$ for 500 miles really took the wind right out of my sails. Some of you may remember that story if you were here on SVTP back then. Now that all my aggrivation is over with, my car is currently getting a new engine built, and this time I'm going with boost. 67mm Precision Turbo, and I'm shooting for a safe 500-550 rwhp on 93 octane A 300hp car just isn't what it once was 10-20 years ago. Wish me luck. [/QUOTE]
