Reaperstang79 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Like to introduce myself, my name is Erik and I've been a loyal mustang owner for about 10 yrs. I enjoy driving and working on them as well. I've done pretty much every swap on the sn95s that there is to do, so I am also very knowledgeable if anyone needs help with anything. I usually posted on 3.7mustang but theres not too many V8 guys over there, so here I am. It all started with my 2002 v6 that was Procharged. Blew that motor, so I swapped in an 02 Gt motor with a 5-speed. Still want happy, so I decided to SC it using TorkTech's kit and a cobra m112. I made 400/462 at the wheels. I was having some fuel problems on the high end and a good friend of mine offered me some 01 Cobra Heads for super cheap, so I figured that I will build a 4V SC 4.6, which brings me to this build. . All i need to officially get this build underway is my forged internals from MMR. Should get them hopefully by next month. Apart from that, all I need is an alternator and the time. My interior was also swapped from the fugly tan to dark charcoal. Here are some pics, let me know why you guys think.

WildWillyWalker Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Sweet build. I watch intently. Where do you learn about all the little things needed like dowel pins and such? I'm interested in knowing those details.

Reaperstang79 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Posted October 10, 2012 Well, finally after some delays in my build, got my internals. Now I just need a few other things and I can officially get this build started. One delay was from MMR, so they offered me a 5.0L stroker upgrade to me for free to compensate me, so of course I took it!!
Alex302 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Posted October 10, 2012 Very nice build. Is it a steel or aluminum block?
Reaperstang79 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Posted October 10, 2012 Very nice build. Is it a steel or aluminum block?Thanks man, I will reusing my Gt block.
Sleeperstang1994 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Posted October 11, 2012 looks like your working on a good build. im working on a 4v build as well. im on the fence about going with the eaton swap or twin turbos. cant wait to see how this turns out! might make my decision easier!!

And good luck with your build. I love the whine of the eaton, so there was no doubt about keeping the SC.
