Any body doing any modular projects?

[HawksWR37]

The modular section isnt getting any love so i figured i would post this up and see if anyone had any projects going on?

[93Turbo4v]

IM doing a turbo charged 4v 4.6 swap into a 93 fox mustang.

[HawksWR37]

that will be sweet. what turbo kit?

[Dirtyd0g]

Doing a PI headed Teksid right now. Extreme budget built!
Alan

[redfirepearlgt]

Stage II Detroit Rocker cams (SC grind) this spring on the S/C'd 3valve. Having to redo a clutch as well since something has oddly gone wrong with how it seated with less than 6K on it. Allowed more than spec'd by maker for break in.

Marauder is doing some kind of modular project as well.

[cstreu1026]

Nxcoupe is putting together an aluminum 12:1 TFS Headed 2V with MHS Stage 4 cams and TFS intake.

[93Turbo4v]

that will be sweet. what turbo kit?

Turbonetics T76 custom headers and crossover pipe done by jimssvt short block stock cobra crank mmr rods manley pistions main studs with windage tray and custom made oil pan by jimssvt.heads are stock mild port work manley valve spring 03-04 cobra cams,ported stock 96-98 cobra intake,60lb injectors that im getting this weekend.still have a lot to get and do.

Forged Bottom end?

[Yellow98Cobra]

Was going to do stage 2 comp cams (sc) and a Kenne Bell, but we can not sell our house with this great economy so it looks like the money for the project is going to become a down payment for a new house. Oh well, got the JLT and 4.30's.

[gbrown8439]

I'm putting a 3.3L Lysholm/Vortech on my 4V Fox road race car. Once we get numbers off that it will get a mid mount 76mm turbo.

[marauder]

Trying to scrape money for a PI Swap and headers, won't know if it'll happen this spring as planned or not until I file my tax returns. Right now I'm just limited to handling upgrades, and hopefully finish some minor cosmetic things.

I've wanted to do that since I heard the first word about those heads.. Most people think N/A 2 valves are slow :rolleyes:

[Dirtyd0g]

Forged Bottom end?

Nope stock with the pistons fly cut by me. I din't change any of the bearings because they looked great, Oil pump looks like brand new inside and out. Not even putting new rings on it.
The money is going into arp main and head studs. The heads I traded for they are modular head shop stage 2's with stainless valves and bronze guides. The cams I had custom ground by bullet. I am going to try the trick flow intake on it however I may do a PI intake swap after I get it running to see which works best for it. All I need to finish the engine are valve covers.
Alan

[HawksWR37]

do you need a set of factory covers?

[Blackout]

still working on my 02 gt

[00 4V Stang]

still working on my 4.6 4v swap

[redfirepearlgt]

Not slow at all. They just don't make the torque that a 5.0 pushrod makes but that isn't really a bad thing. Where the mod 2v lacks in torque it makes up in RPM range (red line 6200-6300) and HP. You can wind the mod motor tighter, make more horsepower and compensate by properly gearing the car for the desired torque at the rear wheels. Not uncommon to see mod motors running 4.10 or 4.30 gears where as a 5.0 more commonly run 3.73 or 3.90 gears with respect to street driving. I ran 4.10's in my 02 and it caught lots of people off guard. Not a show killer 10, 11, or 12 sec car but way faster than many assumed. A great little car all around.

[orangeconv]

I'm doing a 5.4 dohc fox body and a 65f100 with a 98 cobra motor and a vortec s trim, truck has been a long term project that is getting close and the fox is comming along also getting ready to build a intake for it.

You should do a a/w intercooler on it too lol.

Hmm I feel ganged up on jim...lol

Nope, all motor.

It should be a lot of fun and I am sure it will surprise a lot of people.

Mine will probably see upwards of 8000 RPM. I'm guesstimating that it will need 4.88 gears and 26" tires for the track.

[Dirtyd0g]

do you need a set of factory covers?
Yes I do however they need to be windsor so they have to be off a 99-00 mustang with the driver side oil fill. Let me know if you have a spare set.
Thanks
Alan

Nice, I may pick your brain when I start into my build. Any estimate to the #'s you'll be putting down?

I would love to have mine built normally aspirated and making around 300bhp. I don't know whether I could get away with a cheap PI swap, or if I should invest in a modified set of heads and cams to get me to that goal. Is it even possible with a head swap/ cam/ intake mani/ headers (Currently I have a 98 NPI Motor) to put down those numbers? My driving style isn't drag racing or auto cross, half the time I drive like a granny. I just want a little extra power.

[bobtsgt]

I still haven't touched my 2V much. Hopefully will when it gets warmer out. Going to redo the exhaust some. Replace some seals and do a few interior mods. Then get a bigger MAF and hopefully hit that magic 600 mark

[HawksWR37]

I have the set off my 5.4 which was a windsor, i have to check to see where the oil fill is but i do have them

[Dirtyd0g]

Let me know please, valve covers are the last piece to a puzzle I have been putting together for 5 years. Time to quit collecting parts and start assembling them.
Alan

[HawksWR37]

Ill check when i get off work and i'll let you know

[HawksWR37]

Nope, all motor..

What is he putting it in?

My old PI setup made 350+ to the wheels in factory stock trim.
flat top pistons, teksid block, 03 cobra rods, stock GT cast crankshaft, UNported PI heads, stock lift cams but with more duration, PI plastic intake manifold, 70 mm throttle body, 80 mm MAF, longtubes, 4.88 gear. Its definitely possible, and a lot easier than you would think. ;)

I'm not real sure what to expect since I haven't really seen anyone do it yet. I am hoping to see 375 RWHP on 93 and maybe a little more with race fuel. If I end up having to go with a face plated transmission I will probably end up switching out the stage 4 cams for something bigger too.

[cstreu1026]

It's going in my 98GT

Shouldn't be a problem. Bolt ons and tune mine was making 250. They love LT's and a stage 2 cam swap would very likely get you to that 300 mark or REAL CLOSE. Some port matching on the Intake elbow and some minor clean up work on a pair of PI heads and you are there for sure would be my guess. BTW that head is still yours that we talked about. No rush - it and the stang are frozen in the garage right now LOL! Can't get the old door open due to the snow piled up around it.

[HawksWR37]

Alan

well the ones i have are windsor but they are passenger side fill. why do you have to have driver side fill?

[Dirtyd0g]

I need driver side fill because the passenger side is completely covered. The fuel lines come out right where the oil fill would be.

Yep, my neighbors 97gt is somewhere around 285hp/300lbft with PI swap and LT's if I remember right.

With this snow and crap weather it is so hard to get up there to pick that up, but I still plan on it.

[cobraman302]

I am building a '97 Cobra 4v motor. I plan to do a lower compression forged bottom end with foxlake stage 3 ported heads/turbo cams and a 70mm turbo. Should be a fun little project.

[bobtsgt]

that should be a good set up. Been proven to work quite well

How low of compression?

[Jake]

i have a NPI block with stock crank forged rods and pistons with valve reliefs for big(ger) cams. also have some stage 3 livernois heads, so i should be running some pretty high compression. havent figured how much yet. still trying to decide on an intake for it though. after that its on to the rear end with a LSD, 31 spline axles and a 3.73 gear.

4.10s or bust... :chicken:

HPS is what you need but you already know that. you also need a nice set of turbo cams. with the livernois being ported the way they are it should drop your compression a lot. and you need to learn how to drive ;)

[cobraman302]

How low of compression?

Just 8.5:1 so it will make decent power on about 12lbs of boost. Then crank the wick up later on with a larger fuel system and have fun with her. But I change cars like underwear, who knows if it will be around that long. :lol:

didnt we get identical times with my car my first time at the track? :flipoff:

and i e-mailed the riechard racing people about theirs and no one got back to me so im thinking theyre not the real deal. so that narrows it down to either the p 51 or the HPS :confused:

Dont go that low.

[cobraman302]

So you suggest I go higher than the factory compression on the 03-04 Cobras? You thinking 9-9.5?

[JIMS SVT]

Yep...I always do 9.2-9.4.Better off boost power.Some do 10 or 10.5. Just gotta be on with your tune.

[bobtsgt]

Jim's right. you will want at least 9.1.

[cobraman302]

Cool, I appreciate the help fellas.

Stage II Detroit Rocker cams (SC grind) this spring on the S/C'd 3valve. Having to redo a clutch as well since something has oddly gone wrong with how it seated with less than 6K on it. Allowed more than spec'd by maker for break in.

Will also be adding Kennebell BAP and colder plugs as well. Got quote today and the total quote is lower than expected. So may also be considering LT's and catted X-pipe as well. Taking car in March 3,4. Hoping for 450+RWHP and 415+ RWT. Should be no problem getting over the 450 mark since currently at 427RWHP with stage II F/I setup on otherwise stock engine.

Looking forward to finally having some lope in that idle. LOL!

pay attention!

okay but when is luke putting his heads on?

[craigh4575]

I am in the process of building a forged 2v lighting motor to replace the stock 2v 4.6. I have an on3 kit on it now, and will adapt that to the 5.4. Time and money is all I need to finish it.

thats basically what mine is except im using an 03 expedition 5.4 in my 04 GT. and im adapting my 2v on3 kit to work on that. I've just been taking my time to do it right.

[untame]

I am doing a teksid terminator in my 97 GT. Full MM suspension. Comp cams, SW headers. Posi ported eaton. long way to go

[Jake]

okay but when is luke putting his heads on?

his car isnt modular. so i cant answer that in this thread :D

[HawksWR37]

anybody got any pictures of there projects progress?
