    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    Car use to have hood pins I wanted to change it back to stock so I had do some welding work. I should be able to get the rubber adjusters in there now. Had a decent size dent/crease here that my friend was able to get looking really good. Pretty good week got a good bit of work...

    3.8 to 5.0 Swap

    If you are starting from scratch I would go with a 351w the cost difference when starting with zero isn't a huge one and it is worth it in the long run IMO. As for the rear end best bet is a normal Ford 8.8. I'd recommend doing a search in the v6 forum and other forums a lot of this has been...

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    Most of the sanding is done, tomorrow I will be doing the filler and finish sanding a few spots. Went ahead and took the fenders/bumper off so I can work easier, planning to hide some wires anyhow so guess I needed to be done...

    Project Phoenix (94 Cobra)

    Been awhile since I've done a update. The motor has come along a little, almost complete. Mostly waiting on my powder coater to get me my Valve Covers and upper intake now. Spent some time sorting out which harnesses I want to use. (I have 2 sets) And started cleaning/cutting up the one I...

    Air only comes out of defroster vents?

    Check your vacuum lines in the engine bay, more then likely will be the one that goes from the vac tree to the line that goes into the passenger compartment near the heater core.

    question about throttle body spacer

    Got any info/threads/proof that they do something??? Ya know tech info? I think they are a waste of money myself. All they would seem to add is intake volume, and since you are extending the intake runner length they MIGHT move the power band up a smidgen. I'd be interested to see a...

    Anyone experienced with sound deadening? help?

    I've done the paint on type. TSCR (About halfway down the page.) The very first place I would start is the shifter boot, if you haven't beefed up sound deadening there you are letting a lot of noise pour in.

    taking apart alternator to paint question

    I just took mine apart. I broke the first one messing up the "coil" part. (Luckily I had 2.) My only advice is to take it very slowly when taking it apart.

    This is the best way to take out your rear main seal.

    Sorry to bump a old thread, but does anyone have pics of a repair sleeve? As for the OP the 2 screws do work, but be VERY careful on how they are drilled in because they can mess up the crank/seal surface very easily. (My friend drilled in 2 screws with a power drill, if I had known I would...

    EGR Bung Cap

    Just use a 5/8th cap from home depot. The thread may be wrong but the cap I got was brass so it still threaded on fine. (Brass is pretty soft!) The intake side like mentioned is a 351C fuel pump block off plate.

    Snapped intake bolt

    I tried to use a ez out on mine. Did not work actually made things WORSE the ezout broke. Had to remove the heads and take it to a machine shop, they kind of put the fear in me to not do that again. :? They where able to helicoil it.
