    '03 Cobra SB with 2V heads?

    '03 Cobra piston is a 13.2 cc dish. '02 GT is 15.8 cc. No appreciable difference in compression. Maybe 0.3:1 more.....if that.

    '03 Cobra SB with 2V heads?

    You can swap his front cover onto the Cobra block. '03/04 Cobra block is identical to the GT block, except for the added bulkhead machining for the forged crank. The ONLY difference he'll see is the 8-bolt flywheel and the oil pickup tube that is 4V only (different diameter tube at the...

    UDPs and belt whine

    Yeah, some of these modulars are sensitive to this kind of thing. Many folks have no issues with them, but I did, and apparently you do too. :(

    That is KICK-A$$!! I'll bet they aren't cheap.

    Ahhhh....yes it does. ;) And that's a good point. Thanks! I have to admit that I sorta gapped out while reading the OP's second paragraph. LOL!

    Huh????

    Gauges

    This is true. In my 2001, I installed the Roush Indiglo (Stage 3) cluster. I then painted the bulbs in my Autometer gauges to match the color of the cluster when illuminated. I used Phantom series gauges, so day or night they are exactly the same color as the cluster. ;) BTW, love that...

    Gauges

    Why not just go with an aftermarket setup? It would be far less costly to go with some Autometer gauges and the pod(s) of your choice.

    UDPs and belt whine

    How many pullies were in the kit and did you install them all? Your original post seems to suggest just one pulley was installed (you stated "pulley"). If that's the case, it only stands to reason that your belt would need to be replaced with a shorter one. Just a thought.

    UDPs and belt whine

    Mine were Steeda. I had several "stumble on start ups" causing misfiring and unspent fuel out the tailpipe, and charging issues. That's when I called Steeda and asked them about different applications for the different 4.6L configurations (2V, 3V, 4V). They said, "nope, they're all the same...

    UDPs and belt whine

    I got rid of my udp's for exactly this reason. They are not tuned well enough to dampen in the proper frequency ranges. Vibration will kill your engine.

    UDPs and belt whine

    If it's a "squeel", it's the belt. How many miles on the belt?

    stall converter

    I agree, and it's always a hot topic when the manual guys take offense to that fact. ;)

    stall converter

    Yep....for autoX, auto's suck.

    stall converter

    Not true. Wait 'til you're putting clutches in every year. 3600, 4.10's, J-mod, Fluidyne cooler here...daily driver...couldn't be happier! ;)

    Need Some Help!!!

    The year doesn't matter. The part of the piston that comes closest to the valve is the 10mm band around the perimeter of the top of the piston, which is the same height no matter what your dish volume is.

    Need Some Help!!!

    I don't know who you talked to, or what information you gave them, but unless you're running 278's, you can degree them so as to not have a problem with PTV contact, thus you would not have to remove any material from the piston. BTW, just for everyone's sake, you mean .5 mm, not .5". ;) I...

    Need Some Help!!!

    You asked for help. Now you don't want it?? Why would you elect to leave power on the table?? By degreeing them, you're assured of getting the most out of the cams you just spent $600 on. It takes maybe 1/2 hour to do this. If you don't degree them, you could be robbing yourself of 10 hp...

    Need Some Help!!!

    Go with a VT stage II. You're still going to have to degree them to be sure the events are where they're supposed to be. But you shouldn't have any issues with those cams. However, if you're seeing issues with stock PI cams already, you have something not quite right. Maybe a tooth off or...

    Valve knock?

    Don't scare the guy! If the engine (internally) is stock, there would no reason to suspect PTV contact. Screamin' is right, it's probably just lash adjusters. Mine does the same thing and has for 40 some-odd thousand miles. No worries.
