supercharged 32v build

[Night/MareCobra]

Its getting close to winter which means the Cobra will be parked soon and its getting re done from ground up i really want to build the motor to handle boost without stroking or buying a different block or anything and need some help picking everything since this is the first supercharged car I've built

[slow86fiveoh]

H beam rods and forged pistons, reuse the stock crank, head studs and either cometic or mls head gaskets

[Night/MareCobra]

Thanks i was thinking manly pistons but im not sure what dish to go with

[slow86fiveoh]

Just use a factory spec piston if ur not going to go huge on boost the comp ratio is fine with boost, I believe the 03-04 cobras have Manley pistons

[Night/MareCobra]

Well that's the thing i plan on running quiet a bit of boost by time I'm done lol

Diamond pistons are much much nicer than Manleys. And 03-04 Cobras have Mahle pistons.

I'd go Diamond or CP on the pistons. Of course the DSS pistons I put in my engine were pretty nice too but I don't know that they are any cheaper. I think any 4340 H beam with ARP hardware will work. The factory crank is plenty strong for anything you can throw at it and a set of OE MLS head gaskets should be more than enough for most street cars.

Thanks guys you made this really easy for me i was looking up forged cranks before lol

spend the extra money and get them coated no matter what u buy.

[700hp04mystic]

i have a 03 cobra crank and rods with speedpro pistons i would sell.

[Night/MareCobra]

Coated? And how much

[700hp04mystic]

i can get u a number of a place that done our it was like 275 to coat the top and sides of the pistons. woth every dime if your gonna do a boost setup.

[700hp04mystic]

650 for all of my stuff.

ive got a teksid aluminum block for sale for cheap if you want a block to start an engine build with and you can leave yours running in the meantime

[Night/MareCobra]

I haven't started saving yet and got alot of bills to pay this week but are the rods and crank used? And how much for the block

[700hp04mystic]

yes they r used from a 04 cobra i was gonna use them and build me a short block with a tekid block for my 04 cobra that way it would be alot lighter and would have no real down time.
