Saved a 99 from being LS swapped.

Might be easier since you were never able to sort out all your cobra issues. Maybe have a shop do all the work this time.

Mistake 1, trusting shops.

Nice pick up. The 99 rear bumper says Mustang on it. You'll want to find an 01 bumper or swap on an 03/04 bumper.

Did you coyote swap your truck?

Truck is navi swapped. The 2v let go, and I wanted to do something different. Was basically plug and play swap.



For those minds curious, it's getting a 4v out of an 03 aviator dropped back in. Wife is wanting a car to drive, so this will be hers. Going through the parts and whatnot I've found a few things I'm gonna need, but looks to be mostly there. Hoping it to be a quick and painless reassembly!

It'll be a fun car with that engine in it. There were many times I wished I had left my 01 stock. It was fun like that.

And thank you for keeping it Ford. A friend of mine recently saved a forbid from the same fate. I'm not a fan of the swap either. Plus, add up the parts for the swap, then the 2 or 3 junk yard engines that get blown up and how close does that put you to a forged 4.6?

Prepping the engine for install. Hopefully my gaskets are in Monday so I can get the engine sealed up and ready to go in!

He would probably have better luck finding a ham sandwich in Tel Aviv. I ran into a receiver hitch on a pickup truck ahead of me at a toll booth. The front clip was about to fall off and I had to use some zip ties to get home (350 +- miles). The body shop, the insurance company and I looked all over the US to find one. Nope, had to go with the Terminator front bumper. IIRC, somebody is currently making the New Edge front bumpers now, but if I go that route, I'll need to find the proper fog lights and wiring harness. Good luck.

no doubt, Im seriously considering this cheap ass 2valve GT at the little lot next to work (rather a 4valve but again, cheap) just for something to beat on and not care

Could you just cut the bottom lip off a repro 00R bumper?

I know the 99/01 bumpers are damn near impossible to find

Well, engine/trans assembly is in. Was a tight squeeze with the headers, but I'd do it again.

Got wiring harness in and hooked up tonight. For shits and gigs I threw a battery in it and cranked it up. Got some noise out of it! Before I could get it to stay running the starter crapped out.

Some may say it is sacrilege, but I would remove that build emblem on the passenger side valve cover. They are becoming had to find.

You can get under it and saw it off with dental floss.

I plan to frame mine with my SVT certificate.

I've got two separate ones. One on my navi swapped f150, and this one.

It runs, drives, and stops! Excuse my dirty 97. I live on gravel, and were in a drought here. Its been rough keeping it clean.

clean car man. Thank god it was saved from that ls swap. I personally like the ls motors. I just prefer to have ford with ford, gm with gm.

 

[stangfreak]

I think this was a 01 cobra. You can build something like this. and hes granny shifting the balls out of the car lol

 

[_Lariat]

Well, slowly coming together. Got the exhaust finished up. Need to tune it, runs good, just hesitates.

Well, the wife decided she didn't like the racing seats in the car. We found a good priced set of Bullitts for it. (Gladly got power seats back.) She also has made it known that the car will be getting a black interior. So, if anyone is looking for cheap tan racing seats HMU.

Well the interior swap is escalating quickly... picked up an 03 gt with 44k on it for a song. Poor thing was wrecked. Sadly I don't have any photos of progress on the red car, but my wife and I gutted in it and swapped most of the interior this weekend.
