    2v --> 4v Swap...Done!

    I don't have any numbers on it yet (I just got it back) but this is the timeframe/price, etc. I kinda of had a unique situation, as it took over a month just to get the engine (court action pending). But once it was in the shop, it took about a month to get done. Granted, there was a lot of...

    2v --> 4v Swap...Done!

    My mechanic finally figured out all of the bugs and got the engine started. I picked it up an hour ago and what a difference!!! I did the 4v swap in my 99 GT, but added a few small goodies...I obviously the XCal to take off the PATS...put 4.10 gears in, with the pulleys and the air intake...

    Swapped the 2v for a 4v but engine won't start

    Yup --> It was a chip, now its the tuner (SCT Xcal). The only numbers I ever gave to JMS were the #'s on the cobra ECU

    Swapped the 2v for a 4v but engine won't start

    I'll have him check the connections. The SCT plugs in under the dash so I am not sure about whether it is a connecting issue or not. From what I understand, he told me is that there is fuel coming out. He did a pressure check but he still had not tested the injector pulse when I talked to...

    Swapped the 2v for a 4v but engine won't start

    Yep PATS has been turned off. I was also under the impression that the GT pump would be good enough (but also understood that I would eventually want to upgrade). My mech. told me he was going to check the pulse coming from the injectors, in the process of figuring out what would be...

    Swapped the 2v for a 4v but engine won't start

    My mechanic put everything together and tried to start the car but it didn't start. Everything has been done to according to specs, but we are obviously missing something. It is a 99 5-speed GT --> Cobra. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here are the things that can be eliminated: -The...

    Computer Q?

    I am in the middle of having a cobra motor installed in my GT and everything seems to be ok...although I don't have a computer for it. The engine was supposed to come with the ECU and didn't. But is it even necessary? Can the GT one be re-programmed?

    A straight forward engine swap Q?

    yeah its an 8-bolt...when I swapped my old flywheel I remember reading about that. Thanks for the help!

    A straight forward engine swap Q?

    Ok so it might be redundant, but I need to get some cut and dry information. My 99 GT motor is pretty much done for...and I would like to swap it with a 99ish cobra motor. I have around 5K to use here and have been planning to do it this way. What kind of issues/complications am I going to...

    Missing the way it used to sound (down with the police!)

    Thats why I bought my bassani o/r x-pipe in the first place. For this very reason...but MD troopers suck and told me that it would not pass unless the cats were secured with a weld. I think the guy was just being a d*** but I needed it to keep my registration alive. Plus Im sure I am not the...

    Missing the way it used to sound (down with the police!)

    yeah it sucks. The converters are only welded to the x-pipe though, not the pipes coming from the manifold. I orignally had the pipes so I could swap them, but when I put the cats in (clamped) it wasn't clean enough for the trooper who inspected it. I drive my car everyday to work, so I...

    Missing the way it used to sound (down with the police!)

    I got the converters welded-in thanks to a repair order. crapola It just doesnt sound the same and it is honestly depressing. I don't know whether I just got used to the way it was or what, but now its like I can't even hear it. So what can I do now?? Will straight-piping the mufflers...

    oxygen sensor hole dimensions??

    My back left O2 sensor was damaged and I had to remove it. I was looking to plug it up until my new sensor arrives but need the thread size, etc of the hole so I can screw a bolt in. Its a bassani x-pipe, but since the oem o2 sensor fits, it should be the same thread size, etc. Does anyone...

    Do O/R X-Pipes Smell?

    Its not horrible if nothing is leaking...The smell is the same as the exhaust normally smells, just stronger. I really only notice it when I'm stopped at a light, etc. Its probably worse for anyone who is behind you :D

    Need to maximize gas mileage

    Do you compensate for the gas you have left in your tank? For example, you don't fill up when your tank is bone dry right? I noticed (by using that trick with the digital o-meter to tell the amount of fuel) that I was filling up when I still had around a gallon or so left (20 +/- miles left)...

    Magnapacks and Bassani O/R X pipe

    Make sure its tight...I had a problem with my oxygen sensors coming a little loose. I pulled it tight and haven't had a problem. I also noticed that it is very easy for the pipes (the ones that replace the cats) to slide when you install the mid-pipe, causing those small grooves to be exposed...

    Is the center console interchangable?

    Would a different center console, say from a 2002 GT, fit into a 99 GT? I need to replace mine and like the boot on the e-brake, as well as the cup-holders being slightly further back (away from the shifter). But before I start looking, I wanted to see if I had any flexability in my search...

    For that empty void...

    I was thinking about ways to put gauges into the empty space where the stock CD player used to be. Does anyone think that the Auto-Meter Gauge cage for the 87-93 stangs will fit in that space? I am willing to make some modifications (on the cage, not the dash), but I don't want to go overboard...
