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.....
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.....
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.

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

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

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.
