Mark

Does it fit with the headers that came with the engine or are they one offs ?

Any pics of the engine in place ?

Makes me a bit jealous given the snails pace that my project is moving forward at

Mark

Minirotty · 02-02-2008, 04:49 PM

there after market manifolds mate, ordered um from America ill get the spec of them for you, going to put the block in place again soon so il take more pics for you

Mark V8 · 02-02-2008, 05:08 PM

More pics would be geat

I'm using a different engine so the manifolds/headers you're using wont fit, bet it's a snug fit though.

cheers

Mark

Minirotty · 02-02-2008, 07:57 PM

yer, wont be much room left in the bay once it's in there

marco polo · 02-02-2008, 09:34 PM

wow looks the bollox

cjwood555 · 03-02-2008, 12:56 PM

The standard 'header's are actually just log manifolds and perform quite poorly...

But that's a 01-03 cobra engine, not a shelby gt one

Minirotty · 06-04-2008, 09:04 PM

Tims been working in the bay ready to fit new front coilovers and rose joints

cut away strut tops for fitting adjustable top mounts

pic of the Group spec ARB

V8 Trial fit tomorrow so mounts can be fabricated

More updates soon

Puss2 · 06-04-2008, 09:35 PM

Going to be a monster

fezzajsy · 07-04-2008, 03:51 PM

cant wait for more progress pics

Lee Ivatt · 07-04-2008, 11:27 PM

love it. 10 times more reliable than a YB and sounds 10 times better.

Matt Evans · 08-04-2008, 02:05 PM

Thats Fitzys old Time Attack escos shell!

Good to see it getting a reliable engine at last .

Dan · 08-04-2008, 02:10 PM

Should be a monster in the making!

What's the power of these V8's as standard?

Mark V8 · 09-04-2008, 10:15 PM

Tims been busy with his mate fitting new slam pannel and removing all un needed holes in inner wings

Hes been playing with suspension and brake aswell

looking the boolox enit

Minirotty · 11-05-2008, 08:31 PM

quick update, Tims done loads of work to the car, didnt have long to see Tim as only popped in for 5 mins but progression is loads

Tim has welded in a tubuler bar on the front slam for strength

and trial fitted the V8 figured out he has to chop 2" away from rear of bay into the bulk head but a man of Tims talents this wont be hard to complete

looks nice dunnit

heres some pics of Tims last Escos V8 on carbs!!! and NOS!!!

updates again soon

Mark V8 · 11-05-2008, 09:38 PM

That 4 cam engine is huge

Looks great sitting in the engine bay

Mark

15D · 11-05-2008, 09:42 PM

Gonna be a right monster

jonnyrsturbo · 11-05-2008, 09:57 PM

timbhp · 05-11-2008, 05:52 PM

hi all have bin recovering from a back op, So now i can restart my little project and i can get a bit more done.will update with pics soon.

McGoo 69 · 06-11-2008, 04:26 PM

this will be a beast! going to keep my eye on this one!

Dan · 06-11-2008, 04:39 PM

Cracking progress! Looks great in there, not much room though!

His old Escort looks factory!

Will the V8 make the car understeer with the extra weight or is the engine not much heavier than a YB?

should work out about the same/if not just a bit lighter,
as block ,heads,and box all alloy

my last v8 one was perfect on track and road,and you could hold it sideways when ever you wanted, it made round aboutsgreat for drifting

but in wet it would spin up in 5 gear but it was so easy to control,

kaking1982 · 06-11-2008, 07:41 PM

this looks awesome gonna be mental

purplemonster · 06-11-2008, 08:50 PM

marky_g · 08-11-2008, 12:15 PM

Danny B · 08-11-2008, 12:27 PM

Looks great thats a mustang cobra engine by the way not a Shelby. depending on yrs 300-315bhp, looking at the intake it a later one, Might also take another WILD guess and say although it a mustang cobra engine it was due to be fitted in a MG not a ford!?

Anyway if you need any parts for the engine when you get power hungry let us know, We do alot with Modular Ford engines, currently a twin turbo version of what you have there and also a 5.4 version with a 2.8 Kennebell supercharger going into a Ford Lightning, Both are fully built engines though as conrods are the weak link in them.

the one's used in mg were 3v per cyl and 260 bhp i think, it is mustang cobra svt lump, a mate of mine started the thread and put shelby ,when i bought the creat with engine,box,exh manifolds,cats,induction,all ancilaries,ecu,loom,eng & box mounts i was told it was 327 bhp,have done away with orig exh manifolds and cats,

have got bassani ceramic coated performance manifolds,will get running then will make my mind up what route i will go supercharger or turbo not sure yet
