Re: Eaton Swap.....

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

bump

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Well, I could've sworn it wasn't like this when I picked up the car but I most likely overlooked it, the cruise control cable to the throttle body wasn't connected.:LAUGH:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

I used all the stock brackets, turn out fantastic. Just a bunch of cutting, drilling, bending and polishing.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Well im doin it this weekend finally, just had a small question. did you guys need any special tools? ive got everything really, ive got all my fuel line disconnects, wrenches, air tools, jacks, stands ive got alot of hand tools. i dont have a ton of speciality tools so thats why im asking if anything special is needed.

Oh and i have torque wrench as well, according to alldata the t/c bolts are 18lbft? So i need to make sure mine goes that low.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

and ive got grinder and discs for the knock sensor studs

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Hey guys!, got it torn down tonight, all thats really left on engine is timing cover and lower intake. Does coolant coming pouring out of the lower into the ****ing cylinders? IF so what can I do to prevent this...?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

not if you have already drain the coolant

Re: Eaton Swap.....

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Yep. It's a blast. I regret taking mine off and wish I could go back now. I guess that is the fun in having two mach's. :smokin:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

thanks for the reply. ill prolly end up getting something fabbed. im sure the machinists at my work can make something happen for me

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

can anyone help me with my alternator wiring ppppleeease?

When i wire the way the factory plug was, plug it up, hook up the battery, key out of car, the connector and pigtail will start to get hot after prob 5-10 minutes, if i reverse the wires (switch the outermost wires) it does not get hot, it charges good (13.4-13.7) but the battery light is coming on and off. Im afriad to burn something up...thanks..

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

So on the Cobra oil cooler adapter are we just suppose to the Stock mach gasket where it bolts to the block. I bought a cobra gasket and installed it with that. Will it leak with the cobra gasket?? Thanks for the help.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Honestly, I could not answer that. I just have always reused my gasket. I have compared a cobra one to the mach 1 and they look identical. I can't remember if the part #'s matched or not but I don't see them being any different since the base of oil cooler adapter is the same as the mach 1. There isn't some extra hole or anything that would cause any problems.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

I used the cobra gasket and dont have any problem but i want to say the part # are different but the cobra and my stock gasket looks the same.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

It's threads like these that really make this site so valuable. I almost wish I didn't see it....it's putting ideas is my head!! :3amin:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Mines still running great! Ended up having some belt slip and at around 10lbs I make 465/425.

Love it, very addicting.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Nice #'s. What made you decide to up the boost?

I didn't even get to drive my car for a week after putting an eaton before I tore up the intermediate shaft in my auto car. It's parked again now. It's been about 4 months since I last drove the car.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Well actully I never did, I was having alot of belt slip issues (wrong size belt for pulley) So I fixed that and then noticed the next day it shot up to 10lb right away. Because I didnt want to go over 8lbs lol. But it happens, Eric says he's very comfortable with it, tune is very conservative he said. So. It runs great, doesnt act up out of boost or in.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Just wondering, is the fuel filter in the cobra the same as in the mach??

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Yes

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Thanks, just figured it was easier to ask than to crawl all under the car.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

When swapping timing cover, do you have to take off oil pan?
thanks

Re: Eaton Swap.....

Can anybody who knows the swaps check this to make sure it looks legit. I might have to go for a drive

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

That's almost exactly what my car makes! Mine made 467/433. After two years now, it feels slow. :eyes:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Great thread all! I've started collecting parts for the swap myself. Hopefully I can get them in time to do it over winter. Money has just been funny this year. Thanks for the great info to all that contributed.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Okay the swap is happening. Im more concerned about the shaker bracket. I read through allllllll the pages and saw the shaker set-ups. but im still not to sure about how the brackets are being set up. where are you getting the parts? anybody have a "how to" for the bracket? please...:claus:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

I dont have any pics but I took a flat piece of alumin, mounted it to the bottom of the shaker alone, drilled 2 holes in the center to blow air ontop of it. And then took measurments of the 3 places I would put bolts in on the SC, and made 2 brackets, mounted to the bottom of the shaker, then ran the tabs and mounted it. Ill try to get pics when I get a chance.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Please do thank you

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

here 2 pics oh mine. crap pics but you get the idea.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

DarkMach1- did you cut the stock lower half of the shaker?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Yes, I can use all the cooling I can take.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Have any measurements?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Ill get pics of mine this weekend hopefully. I didnt cut my shaker up at all or any of the mounting brackets. Will try to get pics asap for ya.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Thankyou my good man:yeh:

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

No, but I sent you a PM about it a couple days ago.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

thats right, thank you

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Hey, ive been searching and looking up pages about installing a cobra hat and pumps in the stock mach tank. What all does need to be done. Ive been reading about a modification to the stock basket. Whatelse. Thank you for helping ahead of time. Im doing my eaton swap this sat and just want to have everything infront of me.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Get ready for some razor like cuts. It was not fun breaking that stock plastic crap out of the bottom of the tank.

It is just that easy. You will see when you pull the pumps and hat out what needs to be removed.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

What are the tools necessary for the whole process. I know fuel line tools, but not sure what size, the straps, thanks. I may wait t do it after the eaton swap, but before i get tuned. the guy im doing a swap with is trying to charge me $150 to do the fuel hat/pumps swap and removing of the basket. do i just rip it out of there after i carefully ease off the top of the basket?

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Delete

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Yea when it comes to working on electrical and fuel stuff, thats where i get cautious. But ill prob do it myself before i get the car tuned. I was looking for a write up, but didnt find one. Maybe ill do one with some pictures, unless someone else knows of any writeups out already

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

Just the fuel line disconnect tools, 8mm socket and 13mm socket wrench and long extension to make it easier.

Make sure to clean off the top of the tank so nothing gets inside when you have the hat off.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

OEM/Fuel line siconnect tool

Is this correct? And thank you for the info!

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

link didnt work for me but you can get them at auto zone or somewhere for like 10 dollars.

Re: Eaton Swap.....
 

okay thanks, yea the site was from autozone.
