97 Cobra LSx Build Thread

Planning to do a manual rack and convert everything over to vacuum assist instead of messing with hydroboost. No front sway bar, but ac will stay.

Ran into clearance issues with hoist and front bumper. I pulled the bumper, light bar, and crash bar but ran out of time to actually get the motor in.

Yeah, that absolutely sucks on the mustangs. I have an A frame style that I use for my mustangs.

I would have shortened the hook chain up on the hoist and looked into pulling the inner hoist tube the hook mounts to further out and adding new holes for the pin to go through. I've run into the same thing. The hoist has been modified a couple times. The closer the engine is to the hoist, the less angle you need because you don't have to lift it as high to get the pan to clear the core support. keeps the engine further out. You could also pull the front tires and drop the nose of the car some.

we had it as low as we could in order for the legs of the hoist to clear a-arms. Now that all the nose/accesories are off it is going to fit perfect.

Updates tomorrow.
