Gotcha, well thats always how it is for most of us. Gotta build in stages.

Even though he has to wait on those heads he should wait just a hair longer to get a CNC ported set so that he doesnt have to go back and do it again later.

I want to put MM's complete front kit under Aprils 96' to 01' Cobra swap since I have to swap K-Members but unless I find it used its not going to happen. Also I would REALLY like to get a KB 2.1 right now but she wants to hold out on that till back in Cali.

CHP has pretty nice shortblocks for a decent price in case he just wants a pre-built forged low CR shortblock.

 

well the owner came into some money and ordered quite a few things:
pypes longtubes/hpipe
spec stage 1 clutch/billet steel flywheel
frpp driveshaft
frpp 24lb injectors(just to be safe)

got a bid on a cluster on ebay, and just sent in my info for a mail order tune to get the car running with the injectors and without pats etc...

so now I believe the only thing we have left to order is the powersteering/hydroboost crap. the swap might go down as early as this weekend, but I'm thinking it'll wait until the weekend after.

 

He shouldn't have got pypes l/ts..I've heard bad things about their quality and if he ever needs tranny work he'll have to remove them top drop the tranny. MAC makes a good set of l/ts for the 4.6, I have a buddy that had pypes and sold them off in favor of MAC's. just my .02

 

i've heard they can be a pain to get into the engine bay but that other than that they're fine. getting them in wont be a problem since there wont be an engine in there. hopefully they turn out alright tho i heard they redesigned them a tad a little bit ago. not sure how much truth there is to that tho haha.

 

Either way its gona be a nice little increase over the sixxer. When all is said out up a cost and go gain if ya don't mind.

 

got all the parts we ordered today, it was a nice pile lol. only thing still needed is the power steering stuff/hydroboost. that's all getting ordered today/tomorrow. the swap will happen this weekend with everything but the pwr string stuff. so it'll be running this weekend hopefully, but wont be driving anywhere lol. here's pics of the parts:

3650 trans

tri ax short throw

spec stage 1 clutch:

spec billet steel flywheel:

pypes longtubes:

pypes midpipe:

frpp driveshaft:

frpp 24# injectors:

 

nice.

 

if you need some help with this lmk, i have done the swap a few times now..you will need just about every thing from a v-8 car tho. hydro boost, pedal assm, all 3 wiring harness's and so on

 

you just have to drill out a hole on the pedal assembly you don't actually need a new one. what harnesses are you talking about? we got the main engine harness, another smaller harness, and the trans harness.

 

Damn, looks like its comin along a lot better now.
