LOL!

Revival...will the stock Mach 1 cable work on the 03 cobra motor with eaton or do I have to buy one? Same question on cruise control??

It takes a cobra throttle cable but you can reuse the cruise control one.

And congrats on the new setup!

I'm very happy for you buddy on your new set up and look forward to your build thread, you should go ahead and start one

I keep noticing in pics the PS line coming off hydroboost on TOP going to wherever, is this a new line or did you just move it?

That is the Cobra specific p/s line. The Mach line is a bit different. I found a complete Cobra power steering setup when I did my swap and it cleaned things up a bit.

How difficult/ costly do you guys think it will be to get a lower supercharger pulley assembley (2R3Z-6312-BA). I see it says about $400 on here, and I saw one for about $245 on ebay. Think it's worth it at that price or I should try to get it cheaper?

I'm searching for you, but some I found was a extra A on the end of the part number, is this it?

If you're talking about the lower caged pulley that drives the blower/alternator belt then get the best one you can find. The one that came in my eaton swap was garbage. Had to shell out another $320 for one with less than 500mi on it. It's one of the 4 most expensive pieces in the eaton swap. The other three being the intercooler, lower intake and the blower itself.

ASH302, the kit you've linked to is Metco's solution to a lower crankshaft support pulley alternative to the stock component that Ford came up with. It's definitely a nice kit, but it doesn't have the cage support the stock pulley does, which puts strain on the crankshaft snout. Crankshaft snouts have been known to break off with the use of Metco's kit, but usual cases of this sort concern engines with aftermarket belt tensioners and *big* boost. So you have to be careful with Metco's kit, as it eliminates the cage support.

Here's a few pictures of a rebuilt stock component, which 311-420 is referring to:





Here's a picture of it installed:



Unfortunately this component is long-discontinued from Ford, including the bushings, which definitely take a beating.

You don't need a special dampner to run the Metco set up. It's designed to bolt up to the stock dampner. There are other set ups for aftermarket dampners such as the ones Innovators West make.

Personally I'm keeping the stock caged set up. My buddy has the Metco set up and while he's been ok with his ported eaton, he's had belt alignment issues since installing it. We're going to have to have the hub machined to line things up correctly.

I'm deep into the process of Eaton swapping my 2003 Mach1 following a catastrophic engine failure, and I would like to confirm my IAT2 wiring plans. Hopefully the following diagram properly conveys my understanding of what needs to happen:



Aye?

Thanks for correcting me, 01yellerCobra. I edited my post so as to save face and prevent misinformation from circulating.

No worries. That's why we're all here. I'm really not a fan of the Metco set up. There's a guy making a 4lb caged lower on SVTP. I thought about grabbing one of those, but I don't think I'll need it for my future plans.
