i have got a wild hair up my ass and have decided to MAYBE sell my turbo 408w motor are g force trans to buy a 03 04 cobra motor and t56. sure a fuel injected 408w with a turbonetics 76mm ball bearing turbo will be pretty nasty. 9 sec street car. but im looking to have something fast but also something i can jump in anytime and just drive anywhere anytime for as long as i want and not think twice.im thinking stock cobra motor and trans in my 2900 lb car which is 4 linked and mustang 2 front end, will be a blast to drive.i think with just some long tubes and cold air it will be a high 11 sec car. i have a crap load of money already into my combo and will lose a lot if i sell. i can handle fab work no problem and wiring will take a little bit. i have put efi im my 65. give me some thoughts on what i should do.hearing the whine from the blower and all that instant torque sounds good. hearing that turbo spool up and and feeling easy 600 rwhp sounds good too. HELP!!!

Do you want a 9 sec car...or a 11 sec car? It's want it really comes down to. And as far as drivability, it's all in the build. I'd have no issues driving my 10-sec Cobra anywhere...but the mpg would be a different story.

If you're that deep into it that you will lose $$$, go with the original plan. Right now, and for the foreseen future, you won't sell a combo like that and come close to buying a 03-04 drivetrain.

yea it is all in the build but im also looking for the "wow" factor. plus throw a kenne bell on it and hold the F on. theirs a few low mile drivetrians for 6500 right now. i don't know...plus the capabilities of the power limits of a cobra motor compared to a 351w is a nice advantage also. maybe i just need to buy a 03 cobra for a second fun car.

The "cool" factor of having a mod motor in your oldschool will definitely be there. 600rwhp in a Cobra Motor shouldn't be a problem at all with a KB or Whipple.

However, adapting that motor will be a lot more work than a pushrod motor. You will need to find a k-member for starters. Then you will have to worry about clearing the shock towers. Don't forget headers. Also, you will need to figure out how to get past the PATs system.

I'm sure there is a lot more that I am leaving out.

car is already equipped with a mustang 2 front end. i can put anything in there. make my own motor and tans mount.get a harness from ford fuel injection which they can get rid of the pats, and all the little stupid shit. i have no problem tackling the project just scared to let go of my pride and joy 408w. but im young and dumb and have plenty of years to make mistakes and fix them. fuck it! if i get a deal im goin for it.

thats what i want to do but instead of mustang 2 front end use the griggs gr350 front and rear kit. nice ride

Posted by whitelx91 (Member # 8317) on :
 
One thing ive learned is if you start something finish it even if your ideas change cause then your stuck with the idea of never knowing how it turned out. Alot times i get frusterated or even bored in the middle of a project and want to chang everything before its done. Just finish it i bet youll love it. Then if you still waqnt to do something else sell it (complete) youll get more money for it and start fresh! Good luck

yeah i kinda wish i got the turbo 408 up and running but i have always wanted to do this just i think it was the right time before the car got to outa control on HP and would have to upgrade the block,tranny,standalone efi,fuel,system,probably the axles and full cage the car for the kinda power you can make with that combo. i want a mid to low 11 second car that drives like stock.
 

---

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
haha plans have changed i think im ditching the blower and putting a single turbo on it. to much work to convert all the 99 teskid stuff to make a eaton work.i hope the gforce holds up.

i would need to change the front timing cover to a 03 cobra one, which are like 450 bucks and up.i would have to get a 03 cobra harness and ecu.. i have a 99 cobra and ecu,still need the alt.and mount, a bunch of idlers pullies,03 cobra rails and all the little misc little sensors and crap.i have already the blower,the bottom intake(no intercooler),the front heat exchanger and the big pully assembly that goes across the front of the 03cobra motor.im sure there is more i need but its alot of money to run a damn eaton when i can just turbo it and keep all the 99 cobra crap.if anybody wants to donate to the make a eaton work foundation feel free.

There's an eaton swap for sale in the "ford sale" section. Seems like a sign to me

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
yea thats crazy that the eaton conversion pops up. but all that money plus still have to buy timing cover,harness,ecu all the little sensors....for a eaton is not worth it.already have a turbo lined up.and no the windsor would not be running since dont have any money!!! diapers are getting expensive! jayl i have been thinking about that aod of yours...... i dont think i can pull myself to go back to auto though. even my girl was like "i dont consider it a muscle car if its not a stick" that was kinda a deal breaker. i cant have my girl thinking my car is a wimp.

What bov and wastgate are u gonna run? I'll be looking forward to seeing how it all comes together if I stay pushrod motor I might consider doing a turbo. I def wanna check your car out to get an idea on how I wanna route tubing. Are you making your manifolds?
 

---

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
not sure yet on the bov and wg. im gonna call around and get a general ideal whats best for my application.im gonna set the motor back more into the firewall.maybe cut the firewall out and recess it a little bit to get more room up front.i have a line on a hot side kit for a cobra right now but no sure if it will work.i got more room than a cobra engine bay wise. might just fab it myself. i dont know where im gonna stuff an I/C either. maybe a air to water under the dash. i gave myself a deadline of 2 months...
 

---

Posted by slowback67 (Member # 6348) on :
 
Well one things for sure it's gonna be a fun combo with a 76 mm turbo how's it gonna be as far as lag.... just wondering because I have 311ci and I want to run a 67 or twin 50's I will go air/air and with a little work I think I can fab it up behind the grill wanna paint it black to blend in

some more updates. got a fully built art car aode, sfi bell with a trans brake 9.5 3200 converter (probably will tighten it up) and also a and m shifter.plans are to drop the gears down to 3:55 or 3:27's so with the electric overdrive it should cruise pretty good on the street. now i have the trans i can start making motor and trans mounts.

not too much progress yet. a few more things taken out. mostly interior stuff. been workin on the dash but i just dont fit under that bitch haha.

but about the mounts, it fuckin looks so close with that kmember and mounts , i figure its worth it just to have some made so I dont have to go through the hassle. The Skinny Kid stuff is awesome, but i just wanna bolt this shit in and drive it asap. im sure you know what i mean!

havent updated in a while. still collecting parts while engine bay is getting painted and body work to the car. bought a accel gen 7 dfi, 24# injectors to run all motor to break it in.
 

---

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
update i changed my mind on the accel dfi system so it is up for sale right now. went with a complete fast xfi and fast xim to control the mod motor. also ditched the 99 intake and got a sullivan upper and lower ceramic coated. getting closer to mounting the turbo.

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
its been awhile since i updated this alot has changed... i was full steam on the turbo plan and even upgraded to a precision 78gts turbo and was looking to go mid 8's. then i realized i dont want a race car... i want a street car thats fun on the street. almost sold the car had a guy with money in hand and a trailer waiting. but i decided i couldnt sell it with out finishing it and driving it. i havent driven it since new years drags last year when it had the 408w/t5. so i got rid of all the turbo stuff and i am now in the process of a eaton swap. specs are steg. stage 5 eaton with torque plate,aeromotive rails to run my existing return system, ported lower intake,complete metco 4lb lower kit,metco 2.93 upper, afco heat exchanger,60# injectors,ported plenum and t-body,jlt cai,

BADASS03SVT on modular fords just went 9.94 at 135 with a completely stock long block with a steg. stage 3 eaton boost only!!! backed by a t400 transbraked in a 03 cobra! i got at least 500lbs less than him with a bit more mods and a transbraked aod im hoping just for high tens but this has me wondering!

Good for you man, after all that work that you put into it, then seeing you had put it up for sale just wasn't right!

I have no idea what a pullied/ported Eaton makes at the wheels, but mid-low 10's in a clean old-school Mustang sounds better than 99% of everything else on the road.

Good luck, and keep us updated.

Posted by 166 Merlot (Member # 1549) on :
 
aint nothing wrong with having a street car that can go 10s... i can't take nothing away from you wanting to put some miles on that thing, but what if you put the turbos back on and run 10s on low boost? hopefully one day cut a low nine with it turned up just a lil. Sick either way bro, keep updating

I have to agree, not to take anything away from the ride cause its bad ass and wish I could have one but the cool factor would of been 1000 X better with the turbo, anybody can throw a eaton on a cobra motor I liked how you were going the turbo route. maybe youll change your mind and go back to the turbo keep up the good work

What radiator are you running? What size tire is in the front?

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
Thanks for the comments. Hopefully taxes will bring a large twin screw to the picture. It has a factory heat exchanger on it you can see it in front of the rad.I bought the cat from texas so they are really fat over there no wonder I needed to do so much sheet metal in the floors.

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
summit brand rad. Worked fine for the 408. Its not the best looking but this isn't a show car by any means. Just a street and track brawler. Front tires are 275/40/17 on a 9 1/2" rim

nice build!!! should be sick no matter what but the thought of a turbo whew that thing would fly!! those ported eatons whine like a s.o.b.
if you ever go back to a turbo i think modularmustangracing makes some nice manifolds for single turbo i think there like $400 pretty sure its a t4 flange they'd prolly fit in that chassis

Posted by 40thgt (Member # 8418) on :
 
whoops nevermind the whole hot side kit is $1300 alot more exspensive than when i had my o4 and was looking for a turbo set up

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
Stock manifolds barley fit. I don't know if even custom longtubes will work.as far as hooking that's what the 335 hoosiers are for.

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the periodic updates.

Sorry for the questions, but there is a lot to read through and it looks like there was some mind changing, however, I am curious about the following

1.) Where did you get the motor?

2.) What computer you going to be using?

If you need custom headers built M&M Muffler in Auburn,CA Dominic does a badass job.

Ask as many questions as you want. I traded my 408 5 speed to "jayl" on here. The motor is ran by a fast xfi xim management system.

Wildfire. Thanks for the recommendation. I will give em a call.I hate have stock manifolds on a healthy motor.I got some hedmans I might cut up and practice myself.

How much power are you planning on making? It's fairly easy to get over 600 RWHP through the stock exhaust manifolds on those motors.

i have heard that a lot especially when i was going turbo i was gonna use the stock manifolds flipped and people were saying thats the best way and there efficient to a decent hp. well i would like to make as much power as possible on 91 pump and i am researching maybe having a switchable tune between e85 and 91 and of course race fuel. once i huck the eaton.

That is one bad ride. Looks killer with the big tires all around. The stance and the wheels and tires really make that car. I am around early Mustangs constantly and they never have enough tire under them to get the look I would want for one of my own. Yours has the combo though! Bad ass and good luck on finishing it up.

Do you know what ever happened to this car? Didnt you sell it to someone in elk grove or stockton? I think he had it up for sale at one point.
 

---

Posted by 65mustang408 (Member # 8681) on :
 
I sold the roller to a guy in Texas. Put the motor and trans into the yellow 67 coupe. Then sold the whole car. Which I believe is in the Fresno area.
