  • 97 Cobra LSx Build Thread

    Decided to start the thread. The Carrollton crew helped me get the car home yesterday. I'll keep track of all updates in this thread. Plan is a single turbo and tko600. Shooting for 600rw.

    Story:

    97 Cobra I bought two years ago. Ended up blowing the motor and selling it.



    Bought it back as a roller and it isn't quite the same car.



    Motor is a 2007 Ly2 4.8L with 79K. Came with everything I need to swap it in.



    Going to run this AJE K member with Ls mounts. Looks way better than the stock k. A good amount of weight savings. Haven't decided If I want to spend the $450 for tubular a arms and coilovers, or $50 to get spring perches to run stock arms.


    Car already has a built rearend. Auburn pro dif, 31spl, welded axle tubes, 4.10's. JamesB did the torque boxes.

    update- 10/28

    Pulling the k member with the help of dad and bcrv






    Today I have been working on cleaning and painting engine bay. It's no onjacks job, but it is coming along well.

            When it sits in a driveway without moving the entire time someone owns it.

                The guy that you bought it from blew his LS7 in his new/used C6Z, right?

                Return it to its old glory. Poor thing got stripped and raped by the the people who bought it!

                  What kind of time frame are you looking at with it?

                          not really a member of the plastidip band wagon. For the $500 or more it will cost, I'd rather just save for a decent paint job.

                              I disagree. Car doesn't need coil overs. Would be cool though.
