New guy from Delaware. Some may know me from the SVT/Mod Fords sites if there is some overlap.

Sold my '03 Cobra about a year ago and miss the top mount blower setup. Have daily driven a Grand Marquis for the past 5 years, and decided it was time for something nicer with more pep.

I've got a bit of experience around the DOHC Ford.

My 3.4L Whipple 4.6L Based Setup, 690/636 SAE Pump Gas - Six Speed

My 88mm Single Turbo 5.4L Based Setup, 816/838 SAE Pump Gas - Unlocked C4 Auto

And the newest ride:
Chrysler product. Makes 472/517 through a six speed. Had originally bought a Procharger for it, but decided against the install. Little more fun when the roads aren't straight though.

I've already collected the major components for the Eaton swap, aside from the conversion brackets and a few various pieces.

I'm excited for a fun new daily. Thanks for the welcome in advance.

Yea, I guess full car shots of the black ***** might be appropriate too.

In Street Trim. OEM Cobra wheels widened to 10.5 out back and narrowed to 4" wide up front.

Power Comparison. Dammit that DOHC 5.4L Setup was nasty. This was the first tune we put in the car, off the wastegate spring on 93 Octane, no meth. Literally could not turn down the power anymore, it was incredible!

The two cars giving each other the intro. The Cobra was not impressed with the Vipers dyno pulls. Snakes on a Dyno.

Hopefully I'll control myself with the Marauder build. Otherwise, I look forward to doing a 2.9L Whipple swap with a built 4.6L and a mini-tub. Just kidding!

Welcome to the site bro!

That Cobra was sick! 816hp...at the wheels?!? Holy crap! Your MM has big shoes to fill!

The Viper is cool. Classy with balls! Good luck with it.

Thanks Everyone. I'm on Vacation in Clearwater and just heard the car was picked up and scheduled to be delivered on Monday to the shop.

I'll be home Tuesday and am very anxious to have my new daily waiting.

Sorry about that, bought an '03 300A with 74,800 on it. Black, ASC Sunroof, 6 disc, clean and clear title/Carfax, and got a good number on it.

Already have the major components of the Eaton Swap stockpiled in the basement, just need to make some brackets and the coolant crossover. Few odds and ends and I'll get to work.

Awesome. Looking forward to hopefully seeing some pics of your Eaton swap build. Never gets old looking at people's projects.

:burnout:You sound like me, I approve!

I picked it up this past Tuesday though (Yesterday) and it's in the garage. Have a few things to do to get it where I want, but it's as expected. For the price I paid it's a total steal.

I still need to make some measurements and fab up the brackets. That and the crossover tube are my only real hurdles preventing me from doing the Eaton Swap. Of course if I had a few minutes with an already done setup, I could get crackin' a little faster! :P

That and I have to call SCT and add the Marauder's code to my Pro Racer Package. I'm not looking forward to that, I think I've sent them a half dozen letters and faxes to update licenses throughout the years. They're a pain in the ass, I much prefer the HP Tuners business model.
