future
03-04 cobra irs
boss cobra r hood without vents
cobra front and rear bumper

from parting out my 5.0 i have almost enuff for the engine and suspension

 

lidio from alternative auto did it years ago. after he sold it a dude from livernois motorsports bought it and had it down in the mid 8's

heres when it was a 10-second car

last i remember you get a nice weight break with a mod motor over pushrod

yes the mod motor weights less which is what i am trying to do sense i am trying to make a auto x car and street

 

aluminum (Teksid) block yes, iron 2V is about the same, and the iron 32V (03/04 cobra) weighs about as much as a 460 BBF...

IIRC the 3V out of the 05-10's weighs like 395 fully dressed...

 

98 mark viii's have teksid block 4v would never do a 2v pointless

 

so i now have the engine out of a 98 mark viii with everything except alternator,

for a/c i have the mark viii's condenser and lines i am going to buy a new evap canister to make it all work.

i will post up pics soon of everything
