03 Cobra Rebuild
All right guys, I need some motivation to finish my 03 Cobra. I finally got the motor rebuilt. Its been sitting next to my tool box for the last two months. I brought it home two weeks ago and it just sat in the back of the bed. I'm really burned out!
I did manage to put it on the stand tonight. Had the heads ported and polished. Stroked to 5.0 Anyone want to come help? |

What was wrong with the original motor?

MMP in California charged the previous owner ten grand to stroke the engine. Two thousand miles later it spun a bearing. I had to replace one piston and the crank. Had the heads reworked while down. Car only has 40,000 miles.

I finally got off my Butt and put the engine back in the 03. It fired right up and then I heard it! A knock. WTF a Knock.
The Engine builder came out and listen to it. He told me to take it out and send it back to him. So here we go again. Six grand later! |

Sounds like my kind of luck!
Good luck with it brother! At least it sounds like the builder is gonna stand behind it.
