Well guys, i sold the 95 about 4 or 5 weeks ago. I had some troubles with the 418.. Three teeth on the cam sprocket broke off, and the chain carried the teeth down to the crankshaft sprocket, where they jambed in and the timing chain had to jump/stretch over the broken pieces. This stretched out chain allowed the cam timing to get wayyy outa whack and the pistons hit the valves
So the heads got beat up pretty bad, every valve, and pushrod is junk. ED C said he will fix the heads no problem.. So i can sell those, but i havent gotten around to bringing them to him yet. The bottom end is actually fine, just some scaring on the pistons, but is pretty minor.. its a tough bottom end for sure.
So after all these troubles(seems like i couldnt get a break
Ok now to the good part!! I got my new car today.. A sonic blue 03 cobra with 3,100 miles. Its a sweet color, the pics i have really dont do the color justice. The previous owner did some of the usual mods : Level II halfshafts, diff brace, diff bushings, ported blower, 2.8 pulley w/ idler, prochamber, borla stinger catback, line lock, adjustable drag shocks, steeda tri-ax, full length subs. The car was tuned by mustang magic, it made 468/472 sae. Only thing i could see doing to it is a heat exchanger and some tints. Im just gonna drive it and have fun. And the best part is it has NO head tick, trans vibration or any of the other issues related with the 03/04's.
Anyways, heres some pics of the new ride
Notice the shift nob. Im not a huge fan of it, but it has the line lock button on the top of it which is pretty cool.
