02gt, cobra cloning help!

tgelvin02gt · 08-01-2007, 11:52 PM

hey guys, well right now i have an 02 gt and i am working on cobra cloning it. the out side is all done and now it is time to start one the engine. please help me out where should i start???

fast01gt · 08-02-2007, 12:01 AM

well it seems that the 03-04 cobra motors are becoming more and more scarce so I would start there, try and get ehgine harness and computer with it if possible. Kar Kraft has them sometimes, maybe e-bay if you feel comfortable with that kind of purchase there.....good luck. by the way I think that you will have to get a 03-04 cobra spedo cluster when you switch computers....i think the PATS thing will cause a problem otherwise...

Considered buying Lances '03! That would have been alot easier than what your about to do LOL!
But good luck with your project! Post some pics as ya do it!

Well, since I don't think there was ever a 2002 Cobra, you really can't make it a clone.........so, you will need to deside if you want a 2003/4 motor, or go with the 1999/01 motor which is n/a. Either way, it will be really hard to find one. I would just leave the motor alone, unless you get lucky.

TWebb023 · 08-02-2007, 07:58 PM

buy lances!
haha what up tj, i just wanted to give u a hard time since thats all ur hearing lol, umm if u want my input, i say start with the engine and such parts before u just strap a twin turbo onto it, go cams heads and all the more compact engine parts then go with the turbos cuz it will always pay off in the end, now come pick me up cuz my stang dont work right now lol

PureStang · 08-02-2007, 09:05 PM

well, guys if you think about it, he can use an assortment of engines, it doesnt have to be just from a cobra. he can use the mark VIII engines as well. or any other ford car/truck (??) that has a 32v dohc 4.6

jeredan2003 · 08-02-2007, 09:53 PM

just slap a KB on the GT motor and be done

TWebb023 · 08-02-2007, 11:45 PM

i like that idea, but his plans are a twin turbo down the road i think, hes my buddy so i think thats right, as of now, lets change his mind, cuz im a fan of the superchargers over the turbos myself

TClark22 · 08-02-2007, 11:53 PM

o hello TJ...and tyler

TJ you know what i think. Twins are great and all but i prefer a Procharger or Kenne Bell. Since your on a stock engine.

Or build up your engine, make it bullit proof then decide what forced induction to throw at it...You dont need a 4v cobra motor to make lots of power.

TWebb023 · 08-03-2007, 12:18 AM

great idea but there arent alot left, so hes gotta get on that soon if he wants one, or find some guy that wants to sell his (god forbid) wrecked cobras engine or somethin like that

tgelvin02gt · 08-03-2007, 12:48 AM

see thats what im talking about i really want to build up the engine and then a little bit down the road decide if i should go with like a KB or the twin. so where should i start when it come to rebuilding the engine??? and this might be a retarded question but hear me out,, i know my gt engine is only a 2v but is there any way to turn it into a 4v? might be a dumb question but help me out

TClark22 · 08-03-2007, 08:30 AM

TJ...you could just buy a an already built shortblock from Modular Powerhouse.

Or you could buy a used block and buy all the forged internals yourself.

It would probably be easier to just keep the engine in your stang for right now and start building another engine on the side. Then drop it in when its done.

TWebb023 · 08-03-2007, 10:23 AM

i like that idea too, it will be a side project while in leawood for the school year
