Default Calling all 96 cobra owners!! Need engine bay pics

Heres a quick background, a friend bought his 96 cobra and met a guy who had a shop and told him he could do all kinds of stuff(blower, rollcage, raceseats, stroker motor...etc.)to it. Well the shop went under and the car wasnt completed so my friend went and grabbed as much stuff as he could that he knew belonged tohis car. This is where I come in, I'm putting it back together for him.

SoI grabbed another friend and we've put the motor back together and dropped it back in. Its close to running again.

This is whereI need your help.

I need detailed engine bay pics. There are some vacuum lines that I'm not sure where they go and a few wiring looms that I'm not sure how they are routed. If you guys could post up some close up pics of your engine bays it would save my life.

I also forgot the cobra has a Vortech V2 blower.

Please help me out guys.

stroker motor on a modular motor..lol no wonder they went under. Prob. small time crook who has no idea about modular engines!
I have to say the hardest part of my engine instal was figuring out how the damn coolant tubes went! It took me like 20min. no lie!

Umm....Yes I know that! The problem is that they don't give you any power really! The mod strokers are nothing like the pushrod strokers! They aren't a complete waste of time, but for the time and money put into a mod stroker kit, you would be better off putting your money to something useful!

Your pics were kinda what i need. Do you have any close up of the passenger side and driver side?

I can take any pics you want to see. I've got a 98 in my driveway (same thing) and I just swapped the motor out twice..So I'm still fresh on this. Could you be more specific rather than just driver side and passenger side..

Nice, basically i want to see where all the vacuum lines plug in and are routed. Same for all the wires.

The car has been sitting for 2 years untouched and and wires havejust beenstuffed where ever. I want to make it look just like stock, I know the owner probably wont notice those details but I will and I want it to look right.

Can you just take as many pics of your engine bay as possible from passenger side and driver side so I can see where everything goes. If you canI would appreciate that so much.

thanks man.
