My upcoming winter project - 03 TR Mach 1 D1SC, T56, & Cobra longblock

I figured i'd put a thread together to gather opinions, tips, or just some general advice on what i have planned for my Mach this winter.

Right now as it sits, it is a Procharged stock block with the ever so popular 4V leaky valve seals. Car has IRS, Bilsteins all around, MM Coil over kit up front.
My plan this winter is to put in the 03/04 reman long block I have in the garage along with a T56 & aluminum drive shaft, and then finally put the D1 to work and make some boost.

Parts I have:
03/04 reman with the revised heads
26 Spline T56 & T56 Crossmember
McLeod 26 Spline RXT
McLeod Lightened steel flywheel
McLeod Pivot ball
McLeod Retainer sleeve
ARP Clutch bolt kit
Ford Racing pilot bearing
Ford Racing TOB
Pro 5.0 w/F'n Fast Knob & Tri-Ax handle
Cobra aluminum DS
Steeda Quadrant
Steeda Firewall adjuster
Procharger big red race valve
15% OD ATI balancer
BGG 8 Rib Pulley Kit
3.4" Procharger Pulley
Powered by SVT coil covers
96-98 Cobra intake cams
ARP Cam bolts
VMP 5000
MAF Pigtail
UPR K Member W/Control Arms
EGR Delete
BBK long tubes
BBK off road X

Parts that I still need to buy
Motor Mounts
Modified FPDM
Twin GT Supercar pumps
60lb Injectors
PPRV Delete
02 Extensions
Slot Maf mounting plate


I changed my mind on staying with the single bolt tensioner and bought a 3 bolt timing cover with tensioner, and the proper bracket from Procharger.
Unfortunately the garage i am currently in, and the one i am moving into, is tiny so i wont be able to do the swap myself.

Here is the car:

Sounds like a fun project. I'm hoping to build a short block for mine and maybe upgrade to a D1 or F1 at some point.

Updated the list with all the parts I've procured over the past month. The parts pile is becoming a parts mountain :)
I also got in contact with Deke Hoffman from DHCoatings and had a set of coil covers powder coated to go with the theme of the engine bay. Wrinkle black to match the valve covers. Polished ribs to match the ribs on my shaker. Torch red SVT. Deke seriously does amazing work these look amazing in person

So will everything from the Mach 1 valve cover intake manifold etc bolt up to this?
