I'm wanting to do my cylinder head cooling mod ASAP but am finding no one locally interested in doing this for me. Zack made pieces on his on and Lethal Performance still markets kits for these motors. A labor intensive affair but necessary if you give a darn about these cars and other F-L-M cars with similar motors.........

The lethal performance kit goes to the back of the heads correct? You will be looking at a good bit of labor charges at a shop for pulling the trans to do that I’d imagine.

The best way to do it is the top of the heads like Zack and Travis’ kit. I bet if you call On3 performance they would sell you the head fittings, then all you need is a 90 degree barb fitting with a 1/2” NPT end.

That's the plan. There are firm plans drawn up to be at MartyO's shop for a few days next month. Hotel reservations made but no car rental reservations yet. MartyO and 88grandmarq have agreed to make my vision of Marauder 'Phase One' come to fruition!

Both Men are good and honest brokers.

I've done business with each of them and will continue to do so in the future.

[03Merc]

ICT BILLET. Ebay store has those top of rear head fittings. I used two sets front for Cot delete and rear set for the cooling mod. They are around 28 dollars? Then get your brass elbow fittings at your nearest home store and you are set.

First, relax.

I assumed this was the kit he was talking about

https://www.lethalperformance.com/mmr-96-04-4-6l-5-4l-head-cooling-mod.html

If you installed a kit like this with the transmission attached, kudos to you, I guarantee a shop is likely not going to attempt that and I’m not even sure how it’s possible.

Never did I say you had to pull the engine, at all ever, or transmission to do a kit utilizing the the top freeze plugs.

My experience is from actually doing it, that’s my engine on a stand, it being out has nothing to do with the cooling mod.

Thanks

I am relaxed, I am however tired of disinformation.



You don't need to remove the motor or trans for either kit, would it be easier, sure, but if it was easy, everyone would be doing it.


The kit I used, http://www.cobraengineering.net/cooling%20mod.html


When you put your motor back in, look up, you can get to the freeze plugs easily.

Truly interesting variations on a theme. The Cobra Engineering parts are the most custom pieces, while Zack's illustrations and write-ups are the most informative IMO. A wealth of info and experience here obviously.

[musclemerc]

Both of those will not work FBM. As you should know the MM needs 2 fittings

To those asking for a "kit" if your unable to figure out what fittings to buy dont even bother with a cooling mod.

It's way over your head.

I did not spread any misinformation.

You clearly are just looking for a fight, you also have a reading comprehension issue.

My engine is back in and running, thanks. I don’t see how you would reach the REAR freeze plugs and have the room to install the cooling fittings, but I didn’t say it was impossible.

He was talking about having a SHOP INSTALL THE COOLING KIT. I said they would probably kill him on labor and pull the transmission for access, this was assuming he was talking about the kit I linked. It’s a hypothetical, depends on the shop and the mechanic. For the second time, I NEVER MENTIONED ENGINE REMOVAL, the picture I provided just happens to be an engine on a stand to show my cooling fittings.

I know you are a long time member and I respect you but I’m honestly perplexed by your complete disrespect that I did nothing to deserve.

No, you are thinking the trans needs removed, and it doesn't, all I did was clarify that, would it make it for easier access, yes, but at the cost of an R&I of the trans I wouldn't do it. It will bolt in just fine without taking the car apart.

And why don't we have a "LIKE" button, it's in order here for sure....:beer:

[musclemerc]

For the record you can remove the rear expansion plugs without dropping the trans.

Remove the wiper cowl, tons of room back there.

I’m not in a fight with anyone. Hell I invented the 5/8” cooling mod

Still a reading comprehension issue but I’m done responding to you here, I’d make more progress talking to a rock.

My point was that if he’s hiring some random shop to do it (I have no idea who would be doing the work), they likely could charge him a ton of labor and MAY pull the trans. That is the only point I made and then said go with fittings for the top of the heads instead of the back as it’s easier to access.

Somehow that turns into I have no idea what I’m talking about and am spreading misinformation.

[mm svt]

If you really want a Zack type head cooling mod and no one is willing to make you a set, I will. PM me

[Spectragod]

Fixed it for you...😂

I comprehend, as you say, you would imagine labor would be high to pull the trans in order to install that kit, how that is accurate information, I am unsure.

[RubberCtyRauder]

if one is not installing themself, you need to go to a performance shop. a dealer or average Joe's garage is going to look at you like "you want what "? any performance shop that has dealt with mustangs knows this mod.

[03Merc]

Why do You people keep posting info on this thread? Mods, help Me out here.....

All I need is a cooling mod set. No nonsense Sheesh.

apparently, nobody has a cooling mod set or they would have posted it, so options were posted to make or buy elsewhere.

Awesome I'll be needing a set for my Trilogy car.

[HotRaud90]

Decided to jump in on this thread rather than make another redundant one. I'm in need of cooling mod fittings for an NA car and would like them shipped out ASAP. I'm tearing the car down for timing chain guides/tensioners this weekend and figured I might as well do the cooling mod while I'm in there.

Is there anyone that could ship parts out before this weekend? I know they wouldn't get here until next week, but I'm on a time crunch to get it all done.
