I know one of the others hooks to the middle of the crossover tube then goes down to the thermostat housing. It is a longer hose. I would guess the thrid one goes from the thermostat housing to the oil cooler on the side of the engine. Thats what I just hooked up on my eaton swap.

Their are a lota thing going on with the eaton swap it can get confusing fast! I have just been dividing the system up and working on one part at a time. I almost have mine done except a few cooling tubes. I got those ordered yesterday so I should get them today. Next is the wiring stuff

[Mustang92]

Making pretty good progress on mine. Started last Monday and been working on it an hour or two a night. Other than a few unexpected things it's been going pretty smoothly. I need to pick up new belts tomorrow and Monday I need to order a new o-ring for the oil pump cooler shaft, mine was pretty beat up and I need to find injector adapters for my 60s.



I'm in no rush though, I'm aiming to get it to the dyno a week from Monday.

on the list i have it say i need the sensor on the back of the S/C. can someone tell me what it is or have a pic? Is the IAC Valve the same from the mach 1 to the cobra?

[Mustang92]

IAC is on top of the plenum, the sensor on the back of the Eaton is the IAT2 sensor.

[xXAzureMach1Xx]

Is the IAC Valve the same from a mach to a cobra

[Mustang92]

It should be the same. I'm reusing mine.

[nickster]

plugin is at a different angle only dif.

[eatonmach1]

Just got mine done and it runs great! Like stock drivability! I will post some pics tomorrow. If you guys need any help if connections ect let me know I will get pics.

Should have got ya some EV6 ones Looks good! Gota luv the clean look of the eaton. Almost forgot to tell ya don't forget the coolant tube bolts before you put the eaton on its a PITA to get them on if you do.

[eatonmach1]

Here are a couple of pics of mine. I have to clean my engine compartment up again but besides that I am almost done.

[eatonmach1]

A few more.

I can't complain the 60's I got were free. The top coolant crossover tube bolts are in just not the front ones in that picture. I got a little further on mine but ran into a few other issues. I'm missing the upper alternator bolt and the lower alternator bracket I have was cut so the bottom ear is missing.

Can't Complain about free The upper altenator bolt is in the help parts section at advance auto parts believe it or not. I had to go to a CAT dealer to get longer metric bolts here. Not a lot of places here seem to carry a large stock of metric bolts. That really sucks about the lower alternator bracket. The ear thats missing is it the one that bolts the 8 rib setup to the bracket?

[xXAzureMach1Xx]

i should be able to fit a 1/4 intake spacer right?

[nickster]

still waiting for intercooler pump, so i dropped the tank and modded the fuel hat for twin gt pumps

Yeah the one missing bolts to the pulley cage. Luckily that bracket was only $26 from the dealer and they had the bolt as well. I did strike out on the O-ring for the oil cooler shaft. Mine was messed up and Ford doesn't sell it separate, you have to buy the entire shaft for $50. Normal O-rings are too thick but I found a water faucet valve with a thinner O-ring that worked for much less.

Count me in...with a 99 Cobra. Just disassembled everything last week. Engine is out, and all of my 99 Cobra components are for sale.

Doing more of a "race" setup; twin screw, intercooler resevoir in the trunk, aftermarket cooling lines, no EGR or EVAP, etc. I'll post as progress begins.

I think so I tested my hood have about 2 inches of clearance. May cause problems with the shaker.

nice pic you have there

[el virus]

I am currently collecting parts to start my eaton swap and I ran into an 03-04cobra ecu and was wondering if any of you guys run the cobra computer or if it doesn't really matter what you use.

[nickster]

most run the stock with a tune

[Mustang92]

Can anyone clarify something for me about the alternator wiring. I thought I did it right but read something earlier that has me questioning it.

I took the factory plug and the new plug and basically oriented them so that the clip was on the top (the release clip) and then swapped over the two outside wires.

In one of the write ups it was stated they should be reversed. Of course the pigtail from Ford is all black wiring so it's not like I could even attempt to match wires from the two.

Also what did everyone do for the return spring on the throttle body? From what I could see most left it off.

I finally got the last few things I needed. I have to still take care of the IAT2 plug, figure out the vacuum lines (without EGR and related sensors), build my dual FPDM harness and drop in the GT pumps.

The guy at the dealer told me to just cut my plug and extend it. He said it was the same plug.
