Twin turbo questions

[Rickycv04]

Hey guys im putting twins n my cobra can i get suggestion on where i can buy parts to upgrade my engine and also where i can get a cast iron block to replace my aluminum block

What brand of turbo kit are you going to be using? Street or strip use? What kind of hp are you planning on making? As for the iron block have a look in the Market section for one from a 03/04 Cobra.

Why would you want to? In these cars, the aluminum block is MUCH more HP capable than the iron block. Those 03/04 big HP guys want your block, I bet they'd trade you straight up and think "SUCKER!"

keep the aluminum block.

I dunno what brand yet, any suggestions? Im going with street wanna have between 500 to 650hp, And im going with cast iron cause I was told that my aluminum block will start cracking with the heat

not the biggest expert but I know that our teksid blocks are highly sought after and that doesnt sound true at all.

OP keep your block!!!!!! our teksid blocks are forged aluminum. A lot stronger than an 03-04 cast iron block

If the shop where you plan on getting work done told you that run the other way:nonono:

^+1. They obviously have never built a modular motor before. Consult a well known builder like Livernois to help you, these are not the run of the mill motor.

Livernois

:nonono: HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE

If you're looking for someone to build your shortblock talk to Mike from Modular Performance just a suggestion.

As far as recommendations/suggestions for the turbo kit. Heres the Hellion kit

+1 On keeping your block.

I've always had the exact opposite experience. :shrug:
The only aftermarket builder that was willing to work with my block.

96-98s also have a factory forged crank. There is no upgrade by swapping to an 03-04 crankshaft.

You're not going to need any with the turbochargers, they'll make more power than pump gas can hold just on boost.

But, if you really want to waste money, the best factory cams would probably be Ford GT cams (around $600), and the best aftermarket cams would be a custom grind.
