04 Cobra crate motor project

[Dennis Reinhart]

Here is what showed up Friday we have had the shop full of projects all this week, I just got in a 03 A with close to 100k on the clock, so the owner said lets put a fresh motor in it, this car is a 03 A and does have the head tick on the driverside, had the car been under warranty we could have got that covered but with the high miles, we ordered a 04 Cobra reman crate motor, this is a very good motor this is what I suggested for Sherman, back in the spring, this motor has a 3 yr 75 k warranty, steel crank 8 bolt new oil, pan timing cover and valve covers.







THis car will get a upgraded T Trim 60 pound injectors Aeromotive fuel rails new struts and shocks a whole list of upgrades and I will post step by step pictures.

Our mutual friend, the new owner and I of that bad boy had a great discussion about the project. Needless to say, he is "very excited." We will have to talk him in joining us this March in Bradenton at the NMRA Spring Break Shootout. In fact I will be pushing for a major Marauder (20 OR MORE) showing UP there. Maybe even talk them into our own heads-up class I will be looking into partnering with other businesses to sponsor the class for the event. I think we have a shot at it..

Dennis are you going to put in a return fuel system for the project?

[bob6364]

is that like a $15k motor sitting there?

[MarauderTJA]

Tell me more Tom

Just put up a thread on it Merc.

I think you are thinking about the GT500 fully dressed motor

[RR|Suki]

The 03-04 new Cobra create motor with eaton blower was around 15k. It came with all the parts and was ready to bolt in.

That's a rip since the fully dressed GT500 motor ready to bolt in is around $15K on ford racing as well

[Marauderman]

That new motor will be "sailing"......along .....even a sailesman would love it....cough..cough......WTG my friend...........
