It can easily be done with everything together but I would use a different bolt than your actual intake bolts. Back in high school I made a plate specifically for pulling stock EFI motors by lower intake.

 

yea anderson sells a lower intake bolt/plate kit just for this. but I think they want $100

EDIT:
nope. $40

If I had the stuff to make one with me I would make it and mail it to ya lol. Mine is up in Indiana

 

I have my old OEM exhaust hanger things, I could try to use thouse, but I think the chain would hit the valve covers, or head. and Id rather not scratch up the good looking parts just to pull the motor.


Ill figure something out. Still waiting to see what happen's with work, and stuff, so I don't want to start spending money just yet.


but rings/bearings is probably only going to be $150, and then all I need is gaskets to seal the new motor back up pretty much.

 

dunno how I missed this question. Sorry explosive.


When I got the car tuned, I had the tuner take the oem rev limiter out, so I could install a ignition box with an aftermarket limiter. as I would be shifting around 6000, but on nitrous, I might have to rev it out to 6500-6800 ish at the track because of the gearing in the car. But of course I still drove the car after the tune, and before I got the igniton box.

had some clutch issues, missed a few gears, revving the **** out of the motor. motor vibration the car has always had, gets worse. decide it could be clutch related as i've had so many shifting issues as of late. put in new clutch and all that jazz, shifting issue fixed, vibration is MUCH worse.

cut open oil filter, full of bearing. looks like you ground up a few pennies and put it in the oil.


so spun bearings via over-revving the car.

not to much of a surprise seeing as the bottom end has 160k miles, and I have beat on the car since the day I got it. it was just a matter of time.

should be back on the road pretty soon. I have a few options at the moment. just waiting to see how much money I can save up over the next 2-3 months.

 

Ahhhh, that sucks. I'm debating on saving some cash up and having a C4 built for the Cobra.

 

i wish i had me a rev limiter on my carb motor

 

do it man.


If I knew two years ago what I know now about these cars, I would have a C4, 3500rpm stall, and a procharger/turbo on the car. would be running much faster then I am right now.


I picked up a explorer motor the other day, GREAT shape. so looks like I will just be putting new bearings/rings in that motor, and putting my combo on it. and spray it for a 150 shot.

 

i had 144 dollars in my rings and bearings for my 96 explorer motor thats in my car now

 

what rings and bearings did you use?

I have it priced out at about $300. lol, so IDK how you got you'res so cheap!
