    Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

    Personally, I like a completely built car that kind of looks factory. Blasting and powdercoating instead of polishing ends up giving it a factory look. I also think you'd be more inclined to enjoy it & drive it rather than worry so much about the finish that way.

    Newbie Build

    Are you running the cam timing straight up? It's hard to tell from the pics. Might want to consider advancing it, but I'm not sure what the rest of your setup will be. So far looking good, and yes it can get expensive very quickly. Take your time, do it right and you won't regret it. There's...

    Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

    I suppose the right attention to detail now will make it much easier to keep clean later. Hiding things like tubing and wires gets a lot out of the way.

    new short block on the way

    I don't recall the sizes, but there are two in the front and the back that are a size up from the rest. I'm sure someone else can confirm.

    Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

    I wonder how it compares to doing an epoxy coating. I've been thinking about it more since I accidentally shook a bottle of black-died Turtle Wax polish upside down without the lid (yeah I really did). Not only did it stain the garage floor, but my attempt to wipe the massive splatter...

    need info on swapping gt engine into cobra

    It's been a while since I've gotten into the EEC, but last I remember the Cobra computer can run the GT engine, but it will be down on power and it may be rough. If the harnesses are the same, you could just swap the EEC out without too much trouble. But someone else will have to second that.

    Junkyard engine is driving me nuts

    I meant the leak down was reasonable, the compression was wacky. Maybe I'm in major denial and need to just pull it. Again.

    Junkyard engine is driving me nuts

    I've gone through every electronic system thus far to make sure it's all within spec. Everything checks out perfect. I'm still getting smoke under WOT and some nice puffs of if in between shifts. It also has an annoying tick that sounds a little like an exhaust leak, but the exhaust is tight...

    Ultimate Sleeper

    That "Code Red" GT500 is pretty sweet. I don't know if you'd call it a sleeper though. I mean, it's already based on a fast/expensive car. And it's named after Mountain Dew, which everyone know is EXTREME. I prefer my sleepers to look like a hunk of crap, like an LS1 powered Miata.

    Konig Deception wheel on a 95?

    I'd imagine they would look pretty good. It's kind of like that 04 cobra wheel.

    Never assume any particular rod length will work. The deck has been machined and you are getting new heads. The deck heights should be known and you can calculate the rod length, but check it anyway. Buy an adjustable pushrod. They aren't too expensive. By the time you're done with this and...

    95 computer help????

    I know jack crap about autos so I can't help there :( but it sounds like you're getting somewhere. I had a funny feeling about the timing. I usually set it to run with no timing light before dialing it in. I can get it within a few degrees from optimal without using the light based on the...

    Build Thread "Rising from Ashes" 94 Cobra build thread

    I think I read that you do your own paint work. Is that correct? I'm thinking we want to learn your techniques :D I could stare at the finish on that S281 wing all day.

    How are the winter projects coming?

    My project was way more boring . . . Although it sounds way cooler when you call it necromancy :D I brought it back from the dead and my Chilton's manual was my Necronomicon. Last weekend I polished it up after getting it running a month ago. It sat for 6 years in the garage until I bought a...

    95 computer help????

    Don't try anything with the computer yet. Going from manual to auto will be an issue, but shouldn't cause major engine problems. The missing ACT sensor was a good start at least. It may or may not fix the issue. If the engine is stumbling really bad, I doubt it's the ACT, but who knows. We...

    Yeah that hood just doesn't look right. I think my favorite combo is the Cervini Cobra R hood with the regular Cobra bumper or Stalker bumper with Stalker rocker panels, S281 spoiler and factory Cobra rear bumper. All black.
