Car is still here and waiting for engine info from Al.
Trying to coordinate a lot of things right now.

5.4 32V Kits available now.
Edit: Kits Sold.
More coming.

GeoffGT · 08-25-2008, 01:21 PM

just curious if you'd want to trade that 2000 R hood for an 04 cobra hood? let me know if interested i'm in naples. i dont check this site often, but my email is svtgeoff@hotmail.com

birdman941 · 08-25-2008, 01:22 PM

Not at this point.
What color is the hood?

GeoffGT · 08-25-2008, 06:36 PM

the hood is black. by the way do you have anything else for sale besides those tires since you live so close?

birdman941 · 08-25-2008, 06:51 PM

I'll send you a PM.

CompOrange · 08-29-2008, 02:09 PM

Hey Birdman, just curious what kind of power this thing is putting out. Sounds like a good option for those of us who love torque.

birdman941 · 08-29-2008, 02:35 PM

I have not had it on the dyno.
When the car was at Steeda a month ago or so,
the tuner there guesstimated it at 340,
after a drive where he came back with a big smile on his face.
Only because I asked him what he thought it made.
Mind you,this is a stock Navi long block, Aussie intake, LT's,
and a guesswork tune.
The Ford Powertrain engineer that drove it
was stunned by the torque and the fitment.
That's good enough for me.

shame302 · 08-31-2008, 06:34 PM

Hows it goin' these days Steve? "R" looks great!

birdman941 · 08-31-2008, 06:35 PM

Good.
Back on the Cobra this week.

birdman941 · 09-02-2008, 05:26 PM

Finally got the time to install the Modified Aussie upper intake on the car.
I did have to put an IAC restrictor on it,
whch is strange, as the other intake did not require one.
Fired right up and idled, response is good.
I have (ugh) a header leak on the driver side though.
Have to fix that, or wait until the new motor comes
and fab it on the engine stand.
I do have to still add EGR to the upper lid.
Might do that tomorrow

chris5091 · 09-02-2008, 06:21 PM

You need to paint that thing a flat army green with flat black accents and wheels. Ever seen project f-bomb that HOT ROD did. It would look sweet and understated. One of the coolest projects I have been following!!!!

birdman941 · 09-02-2008, 06:51 PM

It will be Torch Red eventually.

shame302 · 09-04-2008, 09:55 PM

torch red ;0(

Laser red FTMFW!

birdman941 · 09-04-2008, 10:02 PM

Had one already, car kicked azz when I built it.
Oh, you already know that.................
This one is already even faster,
but wont get over 30 highway like yours.

SIrRicCuS · 09-09-2008, 08:47 PM

Just a heads up... I'll be going to the Mach 1 burial site on Saturday FINALLY!!! Give me a call about the stuff you need sometime on Friday or Saturday, bro. Sorry it's taken so long.

birdman941 · 09-09-2008, 08:49 PM

Will do.

birdman941 · 09-12-2008, 02:40 PM

Lastest underhood pics.
Now has new final design upper intake, but still deciding on EGR.
Also waiting for shipment from Australia for Boss intake plaque for the lid.
Should I run EGR?
What do you guys think?
This is how the kit install will appear when finished.
(My camera is acting up today for some reason)

Angus66 · 09-12-2008, 07:44 PM

I like it a LOT.

birdman941 · 09-12-2008, 08:07 PM

Thanks, it actually looks better in person.
Still waiting for a new shipment of goodies from Australia.
Gotta spread the wealth for NA guys.

KEVINC66 · 09-12-2008, 10:23 PM

Wow, that is better than I imagined.Too bad I already spent so many $$$ on my swap,that would look awsome in my stang,keep up the good work Steve.

birdman941 · 09-12-2008, 10:25 PM

Stay safe over there Kevin.

KEVINC66 · 09-12-2008, 11:21 PM
