The trans must be removed to install the fittings, so unless they are taking the engine out of the car to do the head swap, you have not lost anything.

If they are dropping the motor/trans out, maybe you can get them to hold off for a few days. We are expecting some parts from Ford late this week. We could overnight it to you as soon as they are ready.

Let Cliff know it this will help.

This kit was designed for the 03/04 SC Cobra engines. However we are going to start working on a kit for the N/A Mach1 engines soon. Then maybe a 2V kit..................Lyle

I think they were supposed to drop the motor today so I will probably have to wait on this mod. Maybe when the clutch is due for a change.

Thanks

we will be receiving fittings from Ford this week and hopefully will be able to start shipping kits next week. Cliff has been busy working nights lately so he hasnt had too much time to let everyone know. You can start getting in line now if you want. E-mail us so i can get an idea of how many kits i need to fabricate in the next week...........Lyle

Just installed the kit last weekend. Very pleased with the quality. And the tech support I received was incredible! By that I mean Lyle was more than willing to answer my questions on tranny removal / installation as I've never been under my '03 since I bought it five months ago.

Lyle, if you read this, I hope you received my stock fitting in the mail. I shipped it to you last week.

Incorrect, the new heads that addressed this issue just came out this last January so your car is subject to this as well. RickSVT just got a new set of these "New Casting" heads put on and gained 8 HP with CAI/CB over a previous "corrected" run. Apparently, coolant flow wasn't the only thing addressed by Ford with these new heads. Those of you in warranty can get these if you have the tick. Those of you, like me, who are out of warranty can pick up a set with new cams/valves etc. from Ford. Check out these posts for more info:

So were there any 04 Cobras with the new casting heads that dont need the cooling mod, I think I have a really late 04 but am not sure exactly when it was built. Thanks

the coolant mod is designed to flow the coolant through the driver side head, and help to reduce the temperature in that head, all the 03/04 castings have the freeze plug in the back of that head, regardless of when it was built.................Lyle
