It was feed by an Eaton 2300cc SC, had upgraded injectors, CAIS SS Inductions growler uptake and oversized 92mm throttle body, was extracted and running a duel and balanced 2 and 3/4 inch sports system.....it had a very heavy boat and trailer to tow up some steep territory in and out of Patonga...so needed the extra bang. Above 2500 rpm though, all you could here was the Eaton..go figure...but for a heavy tank..went like a dog shot in the bum when it did not have 2100 kg plus to pull...but soaked up fuel like an Alaskan penguin with the power map active. Still sounded unreal, but very 21st century...my own preference is still for the push rod (rather than DOHC or OHC) sixties sounding V8 for a my cobra..but each has their own preference so fair enough. CAVEAT: I am being fair and objective here...not stirring the pot:) |
Not having a go but you do realize that the LS engines are push rod motors no OHC?

I wouldnt post here as much as I have in the past, mainly as the car has been "finished" for some time and updates not necessary, but overall I would say the forum is not quite as interesting as it used to be - just not enough builders showing their progress. They are always the most interesting posts. Ice, In regards to cobra sound - yet to hear any v8 through side pipes that didn't sound pretty tough (except maybe the odd turbo car) - Agreed the fords do sound better though - just not a significant issue IMHO. Ive never had any complaints about mine. Cheers |
At the only Shelbyfest I've managed to get to I was up for best sounding Cobra. It was down to me and a big Block ford powered car and the ford took it.
I don't know if mine was better sounding, I think it was just the loudest thing there. Not sure why though... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ated_Pipes.jpg There's some very fine sounding LS motors out there too. With a cam and some free breathing pipes they sound pretty good to me. I picked up an MS4 cam for mine and they sound nuts as well as making good numbers. Fairly stock LS1 motors i.e stock bottom end and heads are regularly making 420+ RWHP with this cam and some tuning. It's lumpy and angry but makes a good noise and good power. Can't wait to drive it again. |
They both sound unreal with that CAM, mike, the vette especially.
Cheers Gav.... happy with LS series being pushrods, was more referring to not going down the over head cam/s in the modular V8 type evolution, when considering what was available in the Ford range. I should have been more specific there. I do rely like the noise this 408 stroker makes, and that is more my preference, but I am going a bit diesel deaf so like them on the crackly side. |
I have the 4.6 modular supercharged motor from the 2003/4 Mustang in my cobra sounds great i think it has the same firing order as the 5L HO motors 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.
Cheers Greg |

Thanks Greg, 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 sounds spot on, the same as the 351 too, I think. Any pics of how it sits in the bay, I was also thinking along the lines of the 5.4 modular and/or the coyote 5.0 at one stage, but the size of the plant, more so the heads, may make it impossible to plumb up extractors with the limited room available in what I know know is a definately a second generation DRB chassis. Also, if you have a link to any video of your car I would be interested in seeing and hearing it. I was looking at Joe's 4.6 SC Harrison at one stage before I bought this one, but we could not get the NSW rego certification sorted out at the time. |
Tenrocca, I agree with you that it would be great if more guys posted pics of work they have been doing to their cars as well as the rest of the guys building cars from scratch. I can't remember a time that so many cars were being built and so few pics and information on their progress was being posted. The only guy that seems to be giving us detailed updates of his progress is DaveW. I reckon it's fantastic to see heaps of pics such as ICETOO recently posted. I love it when Aussie Mike posts pics of work he's carried out in the shed machining parts and how he's gone about it. I also love when some of the guys have shown us pics of the process involved in building sheds, garages, extensions and fitouts. Lately is has become very boring!
This is the only site I post on and am not a member on any other site. You may think it's funny when you have a dig at someone but sometimes it really hurts. I remember how upset I was when you and Gavin asked me to leave the B-Club for no apparent reason, and the last time I saw you at the Nationals at Goulburn, Gavin you and myself were having a chat when you invited Gavin back to your room for some R and R. I was very hurt! I hope you guys deflated the doll and returned her to your suitcase when you finished! :o |
Top work Mando! :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:
|
Mike and I won't even share our doll with Andrew, what makes you so special Mando?
|
Don't take it personal Mando. Normally I recon normally Andrew would have invited you back but he's named his doll Mandy and I think the similarity in names just wierded him out too much.
|
Slightly used
Gav,
I have an old one that you can borrow ( I'm minding it for one of the CCCV members ) :D Just wash it before you return.......... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d.../DSCF13621.JPG STIFFY |
She's quite perky isn't she?

P.S. Sorry if I hurt your feelings - I think you can handle it. |

We're getting a but off topic aren't we? |

I ran side pipes then tucked it back up just before the back wheels and exits at the back so i could meet QLD Transport rules, I have live pipes but haven't put them on as yet.

There's a bit of gold in that cam cover too HSV. Great looking motor. Tell us about the "Stang", if you would.

Hi Merv this is the second Mustang I have bought. The first one a righthand drive 65 hardtop is around getting the panels alined fixed seatbelt mounts ect before painting. I have a 347 stroker to go into it with a C4 auto ect when it comes back from paint.

Not sure what to do with this one yet its lefthand drive 289 auto pony trim power brakes might sell it and see if i can make a few dollars are just keep it as a cruiser? If a get time I will do a build post on both the shed and the Mustangs. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8194/8...f58532005d.jpg |
