Gallows Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 You have to have dedication to install headers on any SN95. Mine were a real treat to get fitted and everything tightened down on the Cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine were a real treat to get fitted and everything tightened down on the Cobra.I definitely couldn't have done it without the help of my friends. Nobody was there start to finish but me, but it worked out perfectly. A few folks would come and overlap before the others would leave. Matt made it from start till we got the k member bolted back up, so for awhile yesterday late afternoon, it was just he and I. But right as I started to get ready to throw in the towel, 2 buddies showed up and took charge so I could step away and regain composure. lol... All in all, it's finished and they sound good. Gonna run it a few cycles to heat up and cool off, then mid week, I'll jack it up and retighten all the joints.Tapatalk made me do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get it all back together and driving?mattYeah. We didn't get it started till about 1130-1145 last night. I took it around the block today, I have a few creaks and groans I need to address, but nothing serious. I also, after driving and it heating up and cooling down needs the flanges retightened. Nothing us i didn't expect already. Mark heard me driving down the road behind him and texted me. It's definitely louder. I feel a low end loss in torque, but about 2000-2500 it pulls hard. I want to get it back on the dyno and compare torque curves before and after. Also need those 4.10's to compensate for te low end loss.Tapatalk made me do it!

Schiffy Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Went through Mike and Luis and got my SCT tuner and tune. Should be here Saturday. The place I got my base tune from back in March is looking at another dyno day date in September, so I'm hoping to get the car on the rollers and see what the LT's and mid pipe with a tune netted me. Also getting the PI heads ported, and probably just gonna throw them on with the PI cams, and buy the OPS 2's later this year. Slowly but surely making progress.

copmagnet Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 if my ported heads didnt cost 1500$ and cams another 1200$ i'd be moving a little faster too! I need to go back to SOHC just so shit is cheap again, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 My buddy is porting my heads for free. He's done a few sets of PI heads, and did a Honda head that picked up 13whp with just port work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schiffy Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Ok, so I've been doing some research for my PI head swap, asked a few folks some questions, ect... I know it's been done a million times, but there's not to much here specifically about it, so I'm going to put a parts list up with info here, and once I'm done I will create a thread in the tech section with HOPEFULLY money saving routes, as I'm all about saving money! Below will be a list of what I've found I need for the swap(the basics) if anybody wants to add anything please feel free. I'm also trying to cross Part Numbers with alternatives, as MOST of what I have is Ford Racing parts, and I'm sure Fel-Pro and ARP and others make these gaskets and bolts... Anyways, besides the obvious stuff, Heads, Cams, cam gears, can bolts and intake, here is what I have...Summitracing.com- PN- M-6067-D46 includes LT/RT head gaskets, LT/RT exhaust gasket and 20 Head bolts for $115.97Intake gasket. i got a price from advanced auto, for $32.99/set and they are FEL-Pro gasket PN- MS-92121Now the last 2 items I'm told i will definitely need are the coolant tube and nipple. Ford PN for the tube is XR3Z-18B402-AA and the nipple PN is F75Z-8555-AA.. I found them on FordPartsGiant.com, the hose is $31.10, and the nipple is $8.67.I heard if i get the aluminum crossover PI intake, I can use my current Alternator bracket.Timing cover gasket, PN F1AZ-6020-A on FordPartsGiant.com is $7.21 there is another PN listed with a "c" in place of the "a". I'm unsure the differece(help) but that part number from FPG is $6.82.I think I'm off to a good start, so if there is any advice or any comments, or parts I'm missing, lemme know.

Schiffy Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 pulled the rearend out to swap with my buddy who's parting out the Mystic. Mystic rearend has a diff cover and 4.10's. noticed the flanges are also thicker than the stock one that came out of my car and the studs look fairly new. Wondering if I lucked out and got a 31 splines rearend, or maybe they upgraded the axles when they did the gears. Pics to follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The new rearend with a little lime green action on the diff. Haha... I'm respraying the rest black, so ignore the overspray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schiffy Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sooooooooooo, i'm doing some research on gutting the IMRC's. currently, with my GT ECU, they aren't functioning anyways. i want to delete the butterflies, fill the holes, slap them back in, have Luis Tune it and see what she puts down. she put down 296 in the Mystic last March as it sits, only thing i don't have is the T45 from the Mystic, i have the engine and rearend however. hoping i can pick up 4-5HP on the topend to put it over 300, then maybe a single blade TB, JLT CAI, and i want to maybe up the 4.10's to 4.30's or even 4.56's... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copmagnet Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm not sure if it's the same for the B headed motor, but on the C head the single blade TB are a waste due to the fact the twin 65mm (70mm? IDR) holes flow enough air and don't even become a restriction until mid 400's N/a. up to you, but I'm not about 250+ for those things. I'd go with 4.30's if I were you. I love mine and wouldn't trade them for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
