Terminator Fox Awakens!

Almost finished with re-assembling the accessories to the front of the engine.

I made a template of the hydroboost plate which has a larger inner core than fox booster cylinder. Outer holes were clearanced to the size of hydro stud column. I will likely use fender washers if they are too large.

Durr.. My bad, I forgot you are running that plate and bearing.

Looks good man. I'm fixing to start the same project. Not sure if I want to modify my 03 motor just yet.

I understand. I figured that I'd go through the pain once and be done. Thanks, Craig

I've received the McLeod Twin-disc setup with billet steel flywheel. Hope to get it mounted to the engine and everything installed in the car within the next 2 weeks.

Finally got around to setting aside a few hours to get the Cobra pedal assembly and Hydro-boost installed. Will be working Saturday and Sunday to get the 03 Cobra engine and T56 mounted into the car. Stay tuned...

Today was a great day. Finally got the mod motor and AJE K-member installed in my car. More work remains in getting all of the other mechanical connections made before integrating the harness into the new system.

Looking great Craig keep at it!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the cobra insert in the bumper also not to many people do that to a LX car, I actually thought about doing that to mine some time ago but was unsure if I would like it but it looks great.

That is a fine looking engine.

Thank you. I appreciate the comment about the cobra insert; it was a gamble!

thank you. I almost lost it earlier that day. It fell off the engine picker and broke two bridge brackets...blessing that no one was hurt

Is a 03/04 Cobra driveshaft a direct fit when you did your mod motor conversion? I am using a T56

 

[ponyboy89lx]

I used a driveshaft out of a 2001 GT car and it fit fine, im running a 3650 though. I would think it would be the same.

Did you run a T56 in your swap? If so, what driveshaft did you use?

I am running a T45.

After getting the correct transmission cross member from AJE, it was time to get it installed. Car is going back to my home tomorrow to begin getting all of the lines hooked-up before wiring the harnesses.
