Discussion
Hi all, work has started!It began with the engine oil light that stayed on when starting up for the first time after being in the garage for the winter,
So its a full fat milk upgrade on everything! starting with a body off
Engine out and a good chance to try out the new engine to see where to cut

P.S Can I have my CD back? I left it in the autochanger (5 years ago)

Its a Modular Mustang SVT Cobra engine, Dimension wise its not far from the TVR unit in height and length,
even width of the engine block except for the heads as you can see

Nice project - do you intend to do anything about the loss of stiffness caused by lowering the upper chassis rails where the engine sits? You might want to do some extra bracing over the engine as per the T4xx race cars...
The Chassis rail has been lowered by 40mm so i don`t expect to much strength has been lost but i`m already on with adding in extra chassis to cope with a massive increase power There`s no room to brace over the engine as in the Typhoon but i`ll brace the underside instead, Gassing Station | Chimaera | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
