Well i got done with my install this morning,it went pretty well being my first time.I have to say its feels like a whole different car.The intake really woke it up.The fox tb swap give it more room and gives it a quicker throttle response.I recommand it to anyone doing a intake swap.Thanks everyone who help me out.I will get pics up later.The mods were a 93 ported cobra intake,93 cobra TB,modded cai,and a 180* t-stat.

thanks

Yea everything went pretty good.The idle is fine and the pwer is there.So from here im going to start with suspension,wheels,tires, and then in the fall i will go for some heads.

here are some pics of my car and the engine.The engine is really dirty and the reason is because i didnt have time to do it.I did the swap outside in 30* weather and less.

BTW the intake i got from ebay,It look good on the pics that he sent,but when i got it, it was all scarp up.So when i put my heads on i will get it powdercoated.

the fuel injectors had broken p-caps and i had a extra vacuum line that i just had to tee off.The fuel lines i couldnt get off the fuel rails but i just decided to put them to the side.those are the only problems i had.

hey andy thanks for the help on the problems i had.
 
looks great, i wish i did that when i put my cobra intake manifold on, but it didn't occur to me. If i every swap intake manifolds again i think i will go with the fox style T/B setup just for the reasons you mentioned, more space and better throttle response. Great job, and enjoy the cobra intake the car pulls much better up top :)

So you just bolted the tb to the intake right. You didn't need an egr delete plate or anything. I'm about to do a tb swap and didn't know if I could bolt the tb to the intake.

I know for the 93 cobra intake there is a egr spacer built in,so you could just bolt it on the intake.If you do other intakes you will have to use a fox egr spacer or EGR delete plate to mount throttle bracket
