We started in June on the swap and finally got it on the ground. It went from an H/C/I/S-trim 302 to this.

A couple more weeks and it should be running.

This car was bought bone stock, then we added the H/C/I/S-trim, trust me it's not the car you're thinking of.

Thanks for all the compliments guys, it has been a lot of work but it's really paying off. The blower is the new VMP TVS.

Very nice, I am glad to see that there are still some people still very serious about building their Foxbodys. Also did you see what my old Cobra looks like now?

Posted by Greasy (Member # 5258) on :

I'll definitely post some videos once it's running. Here is how we got the engine in.

Posted by crazyhorse (Member # 5662) on :

Well done!! Must be a thrill to drive that beast. [worship]

I see you cut off the swaybar mounts, are you planning on not running a front swaybar?

We had to remove them to put the engine in, it will have a '03 Cobra swaybar when done.

Posted by PurpleNotch (Member # 2902) on :

Wow looks incredible! Great job guys. I haven't looked into the swap too much. Is there a k-member that you bolt in that has mounts for that engine and then do you change the crossmember and trans setup too. Does that cover it for at least setting it in there?

Posted by 94 N.C.F. GT (Member # 3946) on :

That beast is supper sexxxy love that color too [worship]

Job well done [patriot]

We used the MM swap K-member with stock '03 Cobra motor mounts, the tranny crossmember and mounts are from a '96-'98 Cobra. '03 Cobra wiring bumper to bumper, '03 Cobra gas tank, filler neck, instrument cluster, heat exchanger, inner cooler pump, CCRM, and a bunch of other stuff. There is a lot of work and fabrication into this.

Thanks for all the compliments guys [patriot]

It's a Special K-member, same one I'm trying to sell on here. I don't know about trans stuff tho.

Thanks guys [patriot]

Well we tried to start it and it didn't turn over, the security light is still flashing. All the wiring checks out so I'm thinking the PATS isn't completely turned off in the tune, hopefully that'll get straightened out tomorrow.

Posted by Greasy (Member # 5258) on :

Just got it fired up! Still have a few bugs to workout but here's a video.
