Replacing Motor

[Speed]

After an unforeseen (threw a rod) event, I will have to replace my motor. I have been searching diligently have pretty much narrow down my choices to buying a cobra short block from MMR, the link provided below, or maybe from a member. I'm kind of weary of buying used from someone rather than a business. Just wondering what I should be looking for in good used motor/block. All feedback is welcomed. Thanks

It seems like i have seen this dance before ... Was it a rear cylinder sir.. And i think the cobra block is a good idea good luck on the build sir

[Speed]

Yeap, drivers side

[SILVERSURFER03]

Did you look on pass side near starter also ....

[babbage]

Last members experience from MMR wasn't so great IMHO. No build sheet. No Dyno was given to customer - even though they claim to do this for *every* engine.

I'd look to livernois motorsport - or just get the FRPP Aluminator.

How did it happen?

Ford factory rebuild Cobra long block would be the best way to go.

I wish I knew that is yet to be determined but in the meanwhile the Cobra route is pretty much where I'm heading.

Supercharger ???? + rpms = well we know

[FordNut]

Oh, I see, so it had a SC on it? How much power?

How much UNTUNED power is the question?

I know things, even if I was away for a while!

[Speed]

Supercharger (Yes)???? + rpms (crusing @60-70mph ) = well we know (it should't but did)

Either way you got to pay if you want to play, but I feel I'm wise enough to know when its time quit and move on.

[Zack]

ah who cares how it blew up, ill be on the lookout for you speed.

Very true. First stop after putting on a blower should be the dyno. With a good tuner.

Better move fast on that one!

[tjl006]

aluminator = :drool:

[Speed]

Don't know but will check.

[Paul T. Casey]

Don't know but will check.

Don't check, just pm me the phone number. You don't want this, as a matter of fact, no-one does. I'll take one for the team and buy it so no-one else will have to deal with this misery.

You can purchase them for less.

[Zack]

Complete means Longblock Marc.

[merc]

Complete means Longblock Marc.

It's a used long block that had a Procharger f1 on it. Could be a good deal.

[Glenn]

Talk to Nate about his Aluminator engine before you close a deal on a Cobra. He has Rick's MM with a new Aluminator engine.

Glenn Ford :burnout:

The block excess has is a custom built block. Lots of goodies. And it is just a short block at 9.25:1. It is still in long block form with b heads for 5k.

Whatever you do DON'T PUT A JUNKYARD MOTOR IN IT!!!

OMG - you didn't say :censor: Junkyard. You stepped on somebody's toes big time. :help:

Why? I made 520/465 on a junkyars stock engine.

Youre the exception to the rule bro! :up:
By the way how much did you pay for your junkyard motor???

2200 delivered back in 06

[DOOM]

Well around here junkyard motors are over $3000!
No delivery included!
Would make sense to get the aluminator if the price is about the same.

[DOOM]

Not trying to step on anybody's toes but it only makes sense.
Go with the built motor and dont look back.

[SILVERSURFER03]

youre the exception to the rule bro! :up:

ok point taken .... It happened once and the engine came from va. Sorry for that but i have sold three (3) from here and not one problem.-----

p.s. Toes are fine didn't hurt much it's all good
