Any interest in 03 cobra short block

[shumpertdavid]

i think its machinable. there are no deep gouges in it. more like small waves. it really looks like the bearing absorbed most of the damage

I follow what you are saying, I thought much the same way, machinest said it would take 20 over at minimum to clean mine or he'd sell me a 10/10 crank for 250 ready to go, I opted for the 10/10, just my experience.

8.5:1 is low.

Why not go 10:1 like the Mach 1s?

A Mach 1 with an eaton swap will outrun a cobra all day.

^^^^^^^ He'll understand if he moves over to the boost side of the world with anything running on 93 octane that doesn't have the cylinder head designs like the new coyotes and there programming. 10:1, 18 psi, 93 octane, and pushrod cylinder head tech wouldn't be friendly with any kind of decent timing added in.

18psi is on the high side of anything I'd do.

I'd rather bump compression, increase displacement, and go with a 225 or more head. 14psi or so, about 1000 to the crank. Nothing fancy really. 363 is the way to go.

You can't be this fucking stupid.

It all depends on how you look at it. A cobra engine can obviously handle way more power than the 450-500hp limited mach motor. Up to about 500rwhp though, the mach will make more power with the same mods than a cobra. Given that it has an eaton swap. Plus it's lighter

It can be manipulated either way. Truly, the mach just has higher compression but a weaker lower end, the end.

The Mach shortblock will never handle the levels of boost the terminator shortblock will. Sure, an Eaton-swapped Mach will make more power with stock parts than the termy will make with stock parts, but once you turn the wick up, forget it. The Cobra engine will live far beyond what the Mach can handle. In fact, HPP's shop car terminator engine was stock. All they did was add fuel and boost, and made over 1000hp.

Their is no denying the facts. The cobra shortblock will handle way more power than the mach's. It's easier to get to the 500hp mark with the mach though. After that, it's all the cobra.

Also, if this block and it's parts are reusable, it's easily worth a grand, and worth hanging onto. You could run 87 in it in a budget NA setup for now, without fear of detonation, and throw the wood to it later with boost, and not change a damn thing in the longblock.

I had the chance to pick up a 100% complete '04 termi engine for 2900 a couple weeks ago. I decided against it, due me not wanting to put money into the mach that I will never get back I'm a cheap ass.

Meh. You guys still seem to keep better toys than me. Did you get that corvette?

Nope! It was highly disappointing waking up at 4:30am to pick up a car before school for nothing
The lady flaked and wanted me to pay for the title loan (13k). I said no. She was odd, and absolutely horrible at communicating.
I picked up an '05 GT vert today though, I like it so far.

Let me know if you want a Neon, while you're at it.

'05 No option SRT/4, black, 95k on the clock. All yours (or anybody's) for $4,000.

That's not a bad deal.
