Few pics from today.
Got the G8 in a few of them.

So up tomorrow is a YUGE change for the Mach 1.
I have purchased a complete 2004 Terminator drivetrain to swap! 50k miles on it and includes everything from the supercharger to the oil pan, back to the T56 transmission and driveshaft!
Gonna start the removal of the stock 4 valve engine tomorrow and start installing the Terminator heart!!

Awesome line up you have and WOW on the Terminator drive train swap

[TKat13]

Nice! But it is 'you' which means you will not leave that swap stock. What are you getting powder coated?

I am excited! Got it all done today and drove it home!
Drove into the shop at 8AM as a bone stock Mach 1.
At 7PM I drove it home as a Terminator swapped Mach!

Big thanks to Caleb @ Fastlane Motorsports for all his hard work and skill today. Made the entire drivetrain swap look easy.
From the new 8.8 rearend flange needed for the new Cobra aluminum driveshaft, to the wiring mods for the cobra alternator and engine harness.
He loaded a tune in my computer and the car fired right up. Drove it home and it was super smooth and ran great with the new 6 speed.

Got a few things to complete such as mounting the shaker, hooking up the intercooler pump and heat exchanger and then it will be 100%.

LOL! You know me pretty well! Gonna pull the valve covers soon and have them powdercoated to match the car. Plus some other detail tricks.

Got the shaker mounted to the Eaton.
A bit of labor to cut/modify the factory brackets, lid, etc.





Also got a new set of H&R Super Sport lowering springs to replace the Steeda Sports.

I put in a fuel pump upgrade today with the AEM 320lph fuel pump.
Did a few mods along the way including adding a few new holes into the fuel housing to ensure plenty of volume to the pump.
I also had to trim the upper plastic hat to clear the taller AEM pump. My dremel tool made quick work of it.
I used 5/16" submersible hose and deleted the PPRV valve and factory lines. I basically hooked the small right angle factory flex line to the top of the pump. I then connected it to a inline fitting so that my rubber submersible hose could attach. The other end of the hose connected to the fuel hat.
By using the small right angle factory piece, I kept from pinching the line closed when I installed the hat.

Got it all buttoned up and it fired up on the 1st try.
Now to slap on a pulley and get this thing on the dyno to get me some more power in the daily driver!

Nice! Were you running with the stock Mach pump with the Terminator swap? That's awesome how fast you got her swapped lol.

Yes the stock Mach pump was fine for normal driving around.
However I did not "get on it" until the new pump was installed to ensure no lean issues!
I was able to lay into it today on the way to work, pulls decent for stock pulley (8#), but I am gonna drop in a 4# lower and a smaller upper very soon to get it in the high 400 hp range.

**** that thing looks clean, need to get some new wax so I can do a full detail on mine (clay, quick touch up on paint correction and wax)

[TTSaleen]

Well that escalated quickly......................... LOLOL

[lastcall190]

I don't know what I expected.

Nice! One hell of a daily driver.

[DSG2003Mach1]

anyone ever mentioned to you that you suck

[TTSaleen]

Upgraded the Mach's suspension last night.



Also had all my cars out for a quick clean-up yesterday and the wife and I took advantage of the super-nice weather.

Haha. She is a keeper. Actually she is a gear head too so it's a win-win for me. She took over driving the G8 when I sold her 2008 GT500 a couple years ago. But she is just as comfortable jumping in the Cobra or Mach 1 and taking my daughter to school.

LIFE IS GOOD enjoy

Few quick updates -
Got my Lethal Performance Division-X return style fuel system with twin 465 pumps and PTFE line so that I can run E85.
Got my Glenn's Performance Cobra fuel tank that has the correct baffle installed and allows my Div-X hat to fit nicely.
Got Caleb to load an E85 tune into my handheld and loaded it into the car.

Almost finished it all today, but started raining and I am working outside in the driveway.
Only thing left to do is to terminate the PTFE fitting and hook to my regulator.
Then set the fuel pressure and fire this baby up on the CORN!

[TTSaleen]

New stock Ford tensioner and Metco brace. A great proven combination that I run on my Cobra.



Almost finished the car up for now. Got a shaker mount coming in next week so that can be reattached.
Dropped car off at Fastlane for the final E85 tune and rearend rebuilt with 3.73 gears.
