WL: Project No Slow 5.0

[Cobra Commander]

For those of you who missed out on the conversation, we are doing a challenge with Hibs to take two Fox Bodies and build two totally different powerplants under $2,000 (in engine modifications) to see which one produces more power and runs faster. He is running off the theory that 5.0s are the best bang for the buck in the performance world (which undoubtedly has a huge aftermarket). We on the other hand are converting a 6-bolt 4G63 into a RWD application and stuffing it in this 1979 Cobra, formally a 2.3 Turbo car.

Here are some pictures to catch you up on the car. It was picked up in Albion, Ne out in a pasture. The car had been sitting there since 1993. I'm currently freshening up the exterior just to make it a little more presentable. Obviously I'm not finished.

More to come.

[Cobra Commander]

Today I started stripping out the interior. It smells like total rat ****, so nothing will be reused. I'll finish the back half tomorrow.

We also got the 4G63 RWD conversion adapter plate ordered today. Should be here in a couple weeks.

[Cobra Commander]

What transmission are you going to use?

That is still in the works. It will be GM based though.

[Kries]

Not bad. I'm really stoked to see this project start moving. If you guys ever need an extra pair of hands, let me know. I would love to come by and take a look/help out.

so what did the conversion plate set you back?

[LastPewterZ]

I wouldn't mind aiding in the bastardization of this Mustang...:)

[Cobra Commander]

Do you know how to shove a screwdriver into a key hole and pop a hatch open? I thought I remembered how, but I found out today that I don't. :lol:

I only have an ignition key, so I can't open the hatch....

[DSMMIKE]

theres no latch release next to the drivers seat?

[Cobra Commander]

**** no. Even if they did put one there it would be busted 10 times over by now. :lol: This poor car has seen better days.

[KyleJ]

This car really pulls me in different directions. I love cool/different swaps, I love fox's and I love the potential of a 4g63 motor. I hate everything else about it.

[Cobra Commander]

Haha. What's everything else?

[millertime]

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I'd also love to lend a hand and learn some.

[KyleJ]

Haha. What's everything else?

You know, for some reason I just realized your pulling a non-functional turbo 4 banger and putting in a fully functioning 4 banger with a wider/cheaper variety of aftermarket parts. For some reason my mind though you were pulling a 5.0 (even though I know you weren't).

I now love this project. :woot:

[D1sclaimer]

With all of these spare hands, I will lend my **** to be used.

[toom1h]

5.0s are ghey, so project making a mustang straight ftw.

[roo]

One of the nice things about this project is between all of us I think we have enough extra parts laying around to throw this thing together without spending much $$$.

[gsxtasy]

Oh **** son...i reallly want to see this

Looks like a pontiac solstice IMO!! Its gonna be awesome man, i'll make sure to come up there and be your wrench monkey and do some learning.

On my Daytona, the hatch cylinder is connected to the hatch latch with a rod, like the doors. Should be able to just pop the rod off the cylinder or hatch latch and release it manually.

[sn95.0]

I need my tools back. I will be taking no part in the bastardizing of this car.

[Cobra Commander]

:lol:

No rides for you then.

[matt]

I wish I had the money and resources to just build random **** for no reason.
:(

[Cobra Commander]

Ours isn't money, because that is definitely something that I DON'T have. :lol: Most everything being fitted to the car is either used, fabricated, or found lying on the ground.

[roo]

We need to locate some 160 lb injectors. Supposedly Ford used them in some Crown Vics at one point.

I have 2 160lb injectors I might be willing to sell
or if you want brand new ones:
http://www.rx7store.net/product_p/bosch%201600cc.htm

[roo]

I've found the 1600cc injectors for $75 each new but if we were going to spend that kind of money I would step up to the blue max injectors for better idle.

Being a budget build I'm trying to track down the 150 or 160 lb Crown Vic injectors instead of spending $400 on injectors. I got a part number and found a place that sells that injector part number for $35 each but I need to get confirmation that it's the right injector since they don't give any specifics on their site.

[Josh WFO]

I'm shooting for 14s. Hopefully it will hang with stock GTPs.

Oh lord... this will never happen. The GTP was single handedly designed by god him self. He also put each car together by hand (no tools at all) and said this shall be the fastest race car in north america. The epicenter will be located in Norfolk Nebraska where one special person will hold true all the ideals and mastery of launching the automatic race transmission and how FWD SC'd GP's will own the road.

[spoonraker]

Is the $2000 budget only for engine modifications, or for the whole car?

[Cobra Commander]

Lol @ Josh.


The $2,000 is for engine mods I believe. I'm categorizing the K-member as part of the RWD conversion since it will aid in making more room for all of the turbo & exhaust piping.

We really shouldn't have much into the rest of the car. Most everything we are picking up for the suspension is either used or going to be self fabricated. Hell even most of our fuel system will be used items. I'm sure we'll have a complete breakdown of every single modification and price once it is near completion.

You need some pony's. This car looks great.

That's hot! I'm not sure which route the axles are going now. I might do a cheap 5 lug. Billy has some axles I could use.

As long as the 4G63 actually makes it in there and runs, I'll be content. Just wish it had a T5 instead of TH350.

Martin

Why?

[Cobra Commander]

I'm guessing Martin is getting at the fact that although it would be more consistent with an automatic, he would enjoy driving something like this more if it had a manual.

I disagree because boosted automatics are just cool. :headbang:

I know he is a stick guy but he also seems to be the voice of reason. That's why I'm curious.

Kind of hard to have a work log when he lives in Maryland and his car is here and hasnt been started on. You don't have to worry about Hibs car not being fast, he has already proved it many times that it will be quick.

Stock 5.0 /work log

[93DEESEM]

ok and when is this suppossed to be done? Whats the deadline? I kindof missed the whole discussion.

Not sure. It's going to take a little time to fab up the tube frame.

How about instead of telling us about all the burnouts your going to do and how were going to fail miserably or how your going to kick our ass, you tell us about your build. Its not like we have kept anything a secret. At least we are doing something. I understand you may not be able to work on your car but you could start a log and give us an outline.

As long as the 4G63 actually makes it in there and runs, I'll be content. Just wish it had a T5 instead of TH350.

Martin

Why?

Unless it is an all out drag car only, I just don't see the point in putting an automatic in a car. I just don't care for them, I prefer driving a manual. I know it will be better for at the strip, but what perchentage of the time will this car be at a drag strip if it does get up and running??? I'd rather the car be at a slight disadvantage for 1% of its use, and enjoyable for the other 99% of its use.

No you didn't and thats why I questioned your choice. Im mainly going by your usual opinions of things. They tend to make sense and be rational. And why the t5?

Interior is beyond reusable even if I wanted to. All of the mice ****/****/nest put aside, most of the front half was still ruined by the sunroof seal allowing buckets of water to pour down on the seats, dash, and carpet for countless years. The seat rails were completely rusted.

It's probably going to spend a good time at the track. The cool thing about this setup is that we can keep pushing it further and further after the 5.0 ass kicking is over with. I'd really like to see how fast we can get this 4G63 to go.

this is EXACTLY what i've been saying for years. spot on.

[c0z]

With slow cars, driving a manual is way more fun, it actually makes the car seem faster. When you're talking fast cars, especially boosted ones, autos are very fun.

Spoken from experience.

I agree 100% and I don't see how people think "fast" autos cars aren't fun.

[JesterMX6]

^^ its called personal preference. i've driven quick auto's before. (i'm talking 12s, 11s. not 14s) and i still prefer manual. maybe i'm partially a control freak. i just like the control you get from a stick shift. or maybe i'm gay because i like the way it feels.

[TZFBird]

Whatever happened to the turbo clutch... I think it was a TH350 or something like that with a clutch in place of the converter.

supercharged 550 Maranello. Flappy paddle gearbox.

Decent. I can definitely understand personal preference, sticks are fun. I don't agree with the control argument though. My auto is under complete control of me, with no "automatic" anything.

yeah the control thing goes along with the preference.

don't get me wrong the ferrari was still fun. i just finished the drive and went "hmm. wish it was a 6spd manual." <3 Lebanon :lol:
