Pullied 3 - Another total makeover
- Thread starter Mad1stGen
- Start date
I had one let go on my prototype Roush Stage III setup at like 6G. Not fun but the Manley rod as so manly that it took the hit and still pumping today and I have a nice CP piston ashtry with a Bolt mark to show for it. I sent Stage 8 a new set and they did their thing on those suckers so it will never happen again.Another fruitful evening ...
Intercooler and supercharger getting sealed and bolted together. 7mm non-reusable bolts that oh so like to break. Loctite for safety or piece of mind
Complete intake manifold assembly ready to go on the engine.
I added that line for the engineer that put the prototype together and failed to use L-tite.
Keep keeping on with this wonderful project Jeremi!

Thanks a lot.This evening I finally started working on the clutch pedal, and the rest of the trans swap while waiting for the rest of the engine components.
I will be using SC master cylinder with GT500 slave, connected with a 36" braided line.
Anyone who tries to install the clutch pedal without removing the dash is out of their mind IMO.
The install is a little more complicated on a 1st gen car due to harness placement,
but in either case, to properly mount the cage so that it doesn't flex with the firewall the dash needs to be removed.
It's probably the easiest part of this swap though
Surprisingly clean carpet in this light graphite gray interior
No plug on the Asham8 module install to facilitate easy console removal (thick gray wire - pass side). Gotta change that
Just the info was looking for, it shows the work involved to do this swap the right way.
Love the stock looking brake pedal.
Awesome.:thumbsup:

C heads started in 99 on Cobra's, continental's, and lightning trucks. It was also used on the navigator and aviator. Tho, the navigator heads have a much larger intake port and smaller exhaust port. They were designed for torque, not HP. The HI-PO N/A version was on the 2000 Cobra R. This head paved the way for the FRPP FR500, Ford GT, Shelby GT500 heads. None of the 4 aforementioned heads can be used with a factory intake manifold. Then in 2003, you had the next generation C head. It was called the Terminator, as used on the 2003-4 Terminators (Cobras). It had a revised exhaust runner and port. It was also used onMach1's, Marauders.

Not much getting done last couple days other than the fuel rails tied with the gates FI push lok hose, and oil dispstick (thanks again Bill !!!) along with exhaust manifolds, all buttoned up.
I hope to get the wiring harness done over the weekend ... We shall see about that

It's definitely a knuckle buster ....... lets just say it was a pain
I'm happy with the way my install looks ....
In the end if you're happy with it, that's all that matters :thumbsup:
Honestly I have no idea. This is one of those things that I'll have to figure out once the car runs and drives. Too many changes to just guess and pray it will work out.
Nothing too extreme though, other than some type of limited slip differential, the gear set will either remain stock LSC 3.27, or mild step up to 3.55 or 3.73s (doubtful).
400+ RWTQ at 2500ish RPM will make up for it

DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR AND PUT ON A LOWER PULLEY KIT BEFORE IT GOES IN THE CAR. I can't stress this enough. It's a serious PITA to change it once its in the car.Also I would put some heat shield tape on the rubber power steering hoses that are near the alternator as its get warm it can melt the lines.

Thanks but I'll do the engine a favor and not put one on
. Regardless, I don't see how it's any more difficult. I've installed these engines without the lower blower drive pulley and added it later without any issues ? Pull the fan shroud and you have all the room you could ever need, stock rad setup or aftermarket.
The lines remain stock which are metal. The PS feed line is rubber, but it's quite far from the alternator. Again, haven't had any issues in 6+ years of running the alt in that location on multiple cars ?
