'92 festiva radiator mounts turned out to be perfect for mounting a modular radiator in a fox.

[quik lx]

Fabbed up a stainless steel bracket to mount the regulator, not alot of room with this thing in here. I had to mount it on the side of the blower were the old intercooler line brackets attached. I did get to TIG weld the first part on the car (been practicing at work) Kinda proud of it. Polished out the fuel rails too I didnt like them black.

[quik lx]

Got a few things done in the last couple weeks.

Finally found a set of cam cover gaskets. Who knew these were so rare?!

Bought and installed the Hydra-boost lines. (Not fun at all!)
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w191/quikcoupe/project%2032valve/coupenext001.jpg

Bought and installed the throttle cable. Of course not a direct bolt in even though its a 2001 motor and 2003 pedal. Ended up having to space the pedal off the firewall 3/8 inch to get the slack outta the cable. Works fine now, I have full throttle!!!

Ordered an aluminum rear wing from Victory Fabrication up near Dayton, should have that back in a week or so.

I got the Canton aluminum '03 Cobra battery tray mount inter-cooler surge tank ordered for Christmas (Thanks Maggy!) I was think'in about asking Kenny to powder coat it in that black chrome stuff along with the aluminum Canton radiator overflow tank. Might look sweet!
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w191/quikcoupe/project%2032valve/vt300199.jpg

Gotta get to Cincy Spped this week and pick up a T-56 clutch cable, (to make sure I left enough room for it) a new set of plugs, (so I can final mount the fuel rails,regulator, coil packs, wiring harness, and throttle body.

After that I just need a CAI, electric fan, and finish up fuel lines and the engine bay is done! Just pray our tax refund is enough for a good used T-56, SPEC clutch, and a drive shaft.!!!

[atbracn]

you go boy!!!!!!!

[A05C]

there was a guy selling a T56 out of a 97 camaro at school. i can possibly get you a number.

i think he was asking ~1700

The camaro one is different unfortunatly...and tell him $1700 is too much to ask (unless its a Viper spec), there are 20K mile '03/'04 cobra ones out there for $800-$1200. And a rebuilt one from smart parts is $1195.

[NUTTSGT]

Nice project man.

Look here (http://wildridesracecars.com/store/home.php?cat=253)

[quik lx]

Well I took advantage of the warmer (read 40 deg) weather and got some work done. Rob out at Ridgid got my intercooler heat exchanger fixed, after the fiasco with another welding shop. I got it mounted up, filled the tank up with water and hooked it up to a battery. This thing moves some water!

Since that was the last thing under the front end I got to mount up the bumper cover and drivers fender. (still some wiring in the pass fender to deal with) It almost looks like a car again.

Yea, we could have put it on the side.

[quik lx]

Yea, we could have put it on the side.

Not a big deal, I had to lower the heat exchanger a bit, but there is plenty of room for the hoses. You can't see anything but the top of it with the nose cover on anyway. I'll get back to ya when I get that head so you can fab up that rear primary. Thanks again dude!:bigthumb:cool1:

Now I have that Shiny Toy Guns song in my head too!!!!

Got out in the warm weather sunday and got the car spun around in the garage. Got the Battery box mounted up.

Almost done with the wiring, got the tail light panel trimmed up to hide the on/off switch. Nice idea Craig!

All the engine bay fuel lines made and installed
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w191/quikcoupe/project%2032valve/newyears.jpg




I added a six circuit fuse panel to the back of the glove box for all the added acces. and the key switched functions of the computer. My Jegs junction should be in tomorrow which will let me run the constant hot to the computer and to the fuse panel (through a key switched relay). Just have to figure out the brake lights...the switch opens when you press the pedal, I guess I'll have to put a relay in and switch it off when the pedal is pushed to give me brake lights. Other than that I'm gonna put a battery in it and start turning on circuits.

[CAPRISTANG]

Nice idea on the on/off switch.. i need to come up and see it.. Lookin good Joe

When is going to make some noise, Joe?

[quik lx]

When is going to make some noise, Joe?

We put a battery in it last night and tested a few systems.

Things that worked:

Fuel pump, inter-cooler pump, radio, gauges, running lights, FAST air fuel unit, starter relay clicked (don't have the cable to the starter yet).

Things that need figured out:

Brake lights-brake pedal switch on the '03 pedals is normally close (reverse of the 5.0) probably gonna use a relay to turn on the brake lights.

Alternator-schematic looks easy so no biggie.

electric fan circuit is complicated since the computer controls it, but I gotta plan.

We are waiting on relays to finish the wiring...and a bonus check for the gas tank, bell housing, and a few odds and ends. then it will be down at the shop for a tune...I wanna be driving it by April!!!!

[zlou363lx]

[quik lx]

looks good!

what is left to do?

Order fuel tank (yes...still) plum fuel lines from pump to engine, order up the JLT air intake kit (I'm sure it will need modified to fit:(), Run the fan trigger wire from the computer to the fan relay, wire in the tach adaptor (I havent bought it yet), I need a 96-04 offroad short H pipe, and a small list of dumb stuff that kills you like:

battery
shift knob
shift bezel & boot
5 pt harnesses
seats
cowl panel
Fuel filter element (aeromotive)
02 sensor
02 sensor custom harness from detail zone

and after all that it will still need a tune and alginment and insurance.

It will progress steadily now that the 2 cars sold though:cool1:

[Rob]

No Prob. Anything else just let me know:bigthumb

[cstreu1026]

its great to see this coming along.

If you are pretty sure you are going to need to modify the JLT why not just get some PVC from Lowes or Home Depot and make your own? Once you paint it no one will know the difference.

[quik lx]

If you are pretty sure you are going to need to modify the JLT why not just get some PVC from Lowes or Home Depot and make your own? Once you paint it no one will know the difference.

I'm just getting lazy and tired of fabbing or modifying everything on this thing. The JLT should be real close on the fit.

I'm holding out for some stock options that are about to mature, that way the cash stays in the bank. Wont be long...45 days?.....;)

[quik lx]

Not much new to post up, after we watched a special on the Hot Rod Power Tour, and saw how much fun it looked like, we changed a few things to make the car alittle more comfortable on a week long trip.

I installed a power port in the console (I sealed the original ashtray door shut years ago) for the GPS and cell phone chargers, found and modified the wheel well liners, to keep the water out from under the hood and off the wiring. Were gonna scrap buying aftermarket seats, and modify the roll cage shoulder bar (I need more leg room). The stock LX seats match the rest of the interior, they are in perfect shape, and are really comfortable (and light!!!!!) Plus they fully articulate to allow for multiple drivers. I found the wiper motor and re-clocked it to clear the hydra-boost lines. I also had to lenghthen the harness to reach it, but we have working wipers now.

The car is fully assembled and I have finally ordered the gas tank, I'm glad I waited, Glenns performance just dropped them another 50 bux!!! So with any luck I will be starting this thing in a couple of weeks.
Stay tuned.

[ffmueller81]

sweet..... cant wait to hear the beast

[quik lx]

Well poop....I was gonna hang the tank this morning, but i don't have the vent plug thingy that goes in the hole in front of the hole where the pump normally goes. :mad::mad:

[quik lx]

thanks to a fellow SBZ member I got the -10 feed line in 2nite. Thanks Brad (atbracin) I could'nt build this car without ya!:bigthumb The car is ready to pour gas in, check for leaks, and get Adam from Cincy Speed out here to load the tune and start it!!!!!!

Hey Brad, here's how it was routed, should be OK once the heat wrap from the airplane is on the fuel lines near the muffler.

[dsmawd350]

curious why you didnt opt for a traditional sump at the rear of the tank?

[atbracn]

i think you should be fine. mine was the same way. better call me when you start thast beast.

[7721Cobra]

Looks sweet Joe, you do NICE WORK!

[quik lx]

I don't like the look of the fuel system hanging out off the back of the car. This is not a race car, just a street car that goes faster than it looks!!:D

[DeckerEnt]

That looks awesome!!! You are doing some excellent work!!!!!!

[quik lx]

Well, do to a EEC computer fiasco, starting the car is in a holding pattern.:o

[quik lx]

Found a vid of one on the dyno. Should be sweet...someday.

Joe , did that computer work? got it running yet?

[quik lx]

Joe , did that computer work? got it running yet?

No I couldnt use it, I'll drop it back by soon. I won a GIZ2 computer on E-bay yesterday, so I should be good. Thanks for your help Bruce.:cool1:

[Walter]

Wheel/tire combo looks good on there. Wheres the support struts and the chute?

[DSSKing68]

Look great Joe...I kick myself for selling it but I know I could have never given it the love you have!

I got a SCT Xcal 3 coming in the mail...this thing will run soon!!!!

Agreed! Man I hate when you can see fuel lines hanging out the back on a "street" car...

[quik lx]

Mueller took video....I'll post it when I get it.

Adam @ Cincy Speed loaded me up a base tune and the car started right up and went into a smooth 800RPM idle with 75 PSI oil press.:cool1:

Alternator is not charging the batt, but I remember it was caked with Georgia mud from the accident when i got it.

Have a couple codes to look up and check out, but it moved outta the garage on it's own power!!!!! :D

[bobtsgt]

theres no better feeling then that. hope mine will do that this weekend too.

I wired it up just like the Ford schematic, but the alternator was caked with Georgia red mud, then it sat for 2 years. Once the photo shoot is over at C-bus, I'm gonna get into that problem. How did you wire yours?

I havent yet, been trying to find out how to. I had to pick one up because my engine didnt come with it. I got one at the swap last Nov. Was told it came off an 04 Roush but dont know for sure. Mine has the charge post and one plug with 3 pins

According to the ford schematic for 2001 the 4 valve is wired like this:

Large gauge black and orange wire from battery goes to large lug.

Small yellow/white tracer wire goes to constant 12V source through a 20 amp fuse.

Light green/red tracer wire goes back to charge lamp in the dash.

White/black tracer wire is terminated in the harness.

The 2 valve is identical with a different connector with no white/black tracer wire.

I was doing some rewiring the other day and found that w/b wire that just kinda ended in the wire loom.Bare end and all.I thought i might have cut it years ago.But couldnt find anywhere where it would have gone so I just taped it up and went on.

Can you give me a pinout, I have no harness so I dont know what pins go to what wires. Thanks for the input.

[quik lx]

Here's a pic of the connector. Your best bet would be to go to the junkyard and get the connector with about 6 inches of wire and splice it in.

thats one badass car

[quik lx]

Here's a teaser pic (that I took) He was at a better angle to hide the stupid exhaust that don't fit. I'll have to have the prochamber cut up and modified to fit better. He took 50 or so pic's over 3 hours. The ones with the sun out are amazing!!

Hey Mike, I fixed my alternator 2day. the green/red wire goes to 12V also. I now have 14.5 volts at idle!!!! Gimme a shout when you get the connector and I'll tell you how to wire it up.

[quik lx]

Going to the dyno on tue. Any predictions?

Anything above a 100 and I'm happy:D

[bobtsgt]

I say 380/410. more power then you can handle :D

[quik lx]

I say 380/410. more power then you can handle :D

Thats what I think, the guys on the Roush boards are making right around that with a few less mods..so we'll see.

[Mustard]

that is one sweet looking ride.

[NXcoupe]

Very nice ride. Sounded great. So I guess you have already driven it and got it tuned? How did it do? How's it feel driving it? Just curious!

I have'nt got it tuned yet (have an appt. for tues) but, I have driven it around a bit, feels a little stronger than the 5.0 even without boost. Cant wait to drive it when I can get on it.

I havent gotten the connector yet but did take the alternator to a shop to have it tested and it works fine. The guy was very nice and helpfull, he expalined exactly how to wire it up so it will work on my car. Got it home and tried it and bingo it charges. Thanks for your help. Good luck on the numbers.

[quik lx]

Well after a couple hours on the dyno, we found that the left O2 sensor was not reading back to the computer, The short term fuel schedules were maxed out. I could not get continuity back to the computer from the sensor on the sense wire. I spent a little time trying to find it, then just ran a new wire. Now, according to my X Cal3, short term fuel scheduling is correct (hovering back and forth around 1.0) so as soon as I get a free day it will go back to the dyno. I'll keep you updated.

[92coupe]

Why was you sitting on 275 sat near 71? Troubles

[quik lx]

Check'in out a vibration.

[92coupe]

I didn't see the hood up or you out, so i just breezed on bye.

Awesome build Joe, looks great!

Hot damn! Did you have any anticipated numbers you were shooting for?

[zlou363lx]

i love blower whine lol. are you going to keep it how it is for awhile, or do you have more mods planned for the winter?

[quik lx]

Thats actually more than we were expecting HP wise. I think the rods are about maxxed out, so no more performance mods until the shortblock is upgraded. This power should put it in the 10's...we'll see.

[quik lx]

Got the dyno sheet scanned in.

joe, you ever going to sell this one? im guessing no with all the time you have in it. put me down on the waiting list if you ever decide. im so tired of looking at all the junk out there for sale. i want either an 03-04 cobra or something like yours... my empty garage misses a mustang sitting in it...

Right now with blower whine in my ears....don't think I could let it go....but I said I'd never get rid of the blue one either. If a certain '69 SS396 4 spd Chevelle comes up for sale...I don't know.

If my 357 rwhp hit 11.38 (shifting like a sissy), you have 10's all day :bigthumb

I already told her, I got dibbs on her motor!!!:D

blower whine ...

i heard an 04 cobra pull out of wallgreens the other day & i have blower whine in my ears too! i think its one of the coolest things you can hear:bigthumb

congrats on putting together such a cool ride!

[Silver Bullet]

Congrats Joe! It's good to see all your hard work is paying off.

[Jeff88coupe]

Nice Joe....glad to see you get the new combo bugs worked out of it. It's making more than enough power to get into the 10's..just gotta drive it. Any idea of how much it weighs with you in the car? 3000-3100ish?

It was 2900 before removing the A/C, and adding the tubular front end. I did add the cage, but the motor has to be much lighter also...I had to get 2 inch shorter coil over springs to bring the front end back down after the swap. I'm guessing 2750 without me???? I'm 180 ish.

[Maximus]

Soooooo what Saturday are we going to the track? Or did you forget how to race??:D

I'm not really liking this TKO so far on the street...I've missed 3rd twice...hopefully its just the pro 5.0 shifter. I've always used Hurst's.

[Jeff88coupe]

I ran a pro5.0 on my old 3550....I would always on the 2-3 shift just shove it basically straight forward but with the heel of my hand on the left side of the shifter knob....when right into 3rd everytime.

my tko does the same thing, and sadly i have heard that that is what they do. they don't like high rpm shifts much. i have to double clutch from 2 to 3. but if you do figure it out let me know lol

I think you have to get it proshifted and faceplated.... then hold your butthole cuz that's gonna be expensive :lol:

But I could be wrong

[atbracn]

Change the shifter!!!!!

[mustang8998]

Change the shifter!!!!!

Change the driver! :lol:

[92coupe]

Mine does the same shit.

I have the tko 600

[quik lx]

Change the driver! :lol:

Don't you have an automatic, Jeff?..............................sellout.

J/K.......... I'll get it

[331TwistedWedge]

i have a tko II ... they are great trannies, strength wise ~ but you cant powershift these damn things ... 4th is my hardest gear ... the higher they spin, the worse it gets ...

[mustangboy]

I use to have the original TKO w/ a pro 5.0 shifter and I could never get that thing to shift into third right. I just always thought it was me. I think I would try another shifter just to see if it helps.
