Schiffy Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Did you get the valve covers and COPs off the continental? I've been researching some stuff to convert to COPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been researching some stuff to convert to COPs.I have them off. If you need info on them I can give it up, but [MENTION=10]WildWillyWalker[/MENTION] already bought the cops and cam covers@1997cobra, did you have the spark plug covers from the continental by chance?the continental has cops, so they are different then plug covers I believe. I started cleaning up your oil cooler the other day, I should have it all cleaned up tonight.I basically need to reorganize the garage before I start tearing into the heads. Sell stuff, throw shit away, and make room in general. I'll be starting that after my running around today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) when ever they switched to c heads, so 99+. They are the same coils that the terminators use. I'll also note that the cam covers have the pcv holes in the back, which might be nice for a clean oil separator setup Edited December 16, 2013 by 1997cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Got the motor apart tonight and I actually cleaned it up a little bit . Got some terminator rods and pistons from Ortiz a while back. Recently bought some gt500 followers, thanks to Brett advice.Plan is to have the bottom end at the shop to have it all balanced out next week.. Ortiz will be grinding me some nasty blower cams.. Still gotta get valve Springs, not sure what I'm going to do there. Ortiz will also be tuning my car once it's all ready. That's the plan as of now. Bryans car enters the garage this week, so Idk how fast this stuff will happen. THERES YOUR UPDATE! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWillyWalker Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Looking good Don. Hope you got a deal on those followers. They're just so darn expensive. Autonation (Tousley) gave me quite an unbeatable price. Too bad I have other priorities right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I had a deal going for irs but it fell through sadly So I'm sticking to the sra, and that's all the details I'll go into right now.There is absolutely no way the car will be running this yearSent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallows Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hahaha, I think most of us have probably been known to change things up.I had a deal going for irs but it fell through sadly So I'm sticking to the sra, and that's all the details I'll go into right now.There is absolutely no way the car will be running this yearSent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Keep looking, one will turn up eventually.Too bad the you won't have the car running.

1997cobra Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'm not looking anymore, I've decided on sra, and sticking with it.It's better this way.. Taking my time on it will net a more reliable car, which is kind of important to me..

1997cobra Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 The motor is also changing direction for the better, because it's no longer a winter project. Going 11 to 1 compression ratio, with the Eaton swap. Also in the plans, custom watts link, custom sla front suspension etc.. Bryans car is priority at this point though.. My car won't be touched until his rolls out of my garage, and my jeep projects are usable.. Then the cobra will happenSent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
