Thanks for the info for the 04 gt everyone, now I'd like some info about the 04 mach 1, if I understand correctly, its basically just an unsupercharged cobra, right? If I got this 04 mach 1 and supercharged it, how much boost, hp, etc... can it handle? and does it have the same tranny/rearend as the gt?

 

Its not quite an unsupercharged cobra. It is a 4v, but totally different shortblock than the 03/04 cobras. Unfortunately your in the same boat as 99/01 cobras, so easy to make 400+rwhp with boost, but the engine can't really handle more than 400-450. They rearend is pretty much a GT rear with 3.55 gears I believe.

 

the mach is a 4v but it isn't forged like the terminators so if u supercharged it it's limits would still be around 400-450hp

 

mach 1 has higher compression then a 03 04 cobra, it has a forged cranckshaft but nothing else is forged, the tranny is a 3650 if it is a 5 speed. The motor has the same limits as a gt around 450 max hp which with a supercharger is around 8lbs to be safe

 

It also has a solid rear axle, cobra's independent

 

5-speed = forged crank
automatic = not forged

We can only hold about as much as GT's because we still ahve the weak rods, etc.
We do have a solid axle which is a plus.

Mach's have 3.55's while the GTs do not.

Uhhhhh we are about1/4" or 1/2" lower thana GT.
It basically is a2001 Cobra engine.
Limits are about 400 but 450 if you feel like pushingrisk's buttons.

Oh and of course... the B-E-A-U-tiful shaker teehee

 

Or a major drawback, depending on who you ask....

They'realso different from 01 Cobra engines. Machs have 03 Termie heads, higher compressionand a different cam profile that favors torque.

The glass jaw is the same as any other non Termie 4.6: those damn hypereutectic pistons....

 

Aluminum Block on the Mach 1. Big difference IMO.

 

wow, so there is quite a bit of difference then, well thanks for all the info, so all in all, the 04mach is about the same factory but,has more capability than the 04gt? Also, any information on the limit of the rearend?
