Diggin' the 4eyed. Nice toys. I'll be interested to see how the Cobra intake performs.

I'm assuming the cobra intake is an 01 after the cobra intake fix? The correct the 99's by extrude honing them.

It's being fully ported... I believe it is a 01 intake...
I know that one of our newest members knows a thing or two about eeeking every available horse out of a OEM intake.

Well I know I haven't posted much progress lately, I have been waiting on some parts and a buddy to return my engine hoist. I got the engine hoist back so I will be setting the engine in for test fit and mock up tonight and into this weekend, when I get it in I will get a pic for everyone to show how tight it is. I had this engine in my 2002 as an N/A combo but the way the headers are will make it and even closer fit than it was in my 2002! Also my Florida 5.0 gauge cluster came in this week, I went with Autometer Cobalt gauges to go with my black, polished, and blue engine bay since its hard to have any of those colors as a gauge illumination color.

Love those gauges. I am hoping to do the same in the future. There not cheap, not even close

No they aren't but I needed something like them since I am running a stand-a-lone fuel/spark management system

What does running a stand alone have to do with running the fox gauges? They don't care what controls the engine.

It was more that I would have run a newer setup of gauges and dash, and the car had no dash or wiring in it, sorry for the confusion.

Well as promised I'm posting up some pics of the engine in the car, it is bolted to the k-member an engine mounts but will have to do some modification somewhere since the k-member offsets the engine like the factory k-member, looks like I will be talking to my machinist buddy about making some k-member adjustments or possibly changing the engine mounts up to shift it over enough to clear the frame rails from the headers

Your intake is now complete.

Looks like your tipped pretty good also. (passenger side low)

Thanks Todd, yeah it's definitely tweaked. I will be doing more to try to remedy it later next week

Got the intake from na svt, wow does it look nice, I bolted the intake all together to check hood clearance and it appears that I will be safe on that, I have mocked up some engine mounts out of foam board and gave them to my buddy who owns a local machine shop to fabricate for me, if the mounts don't turn out the way I am needing I will undo my k-member and take it to him to shift the mounting locations over enough to clear. Sorry for no updates for a little while, trying to determine what course of action to take took some time as well did the fact that we had our companies annual meeting the last week of February which backed me up at work horribly... I hope to have things progress smoothly once I can get the engine in centered, then I can get it to my buddy to do the body work under the hood for me( I have way to many local contacts that will do stuff on the cheap for me like this)

Some more pics for everyone, since the custom engine mounts didn't work out the way I had hoped I am looking into either making a custom passenger side header or trying to modify the one I have to get it to work.
A couple pics of the intake from na svt

Excellent progress! That intake looks great! NA SVT did a awesome job!
I love the all black motor I thought about doing mine like that when it comes back out. Looks awesome keep the pics coming.
