[QUOTE=Awt2 x;37086027]Just like everyone else said, You're wrong, and Ill prove you wrong. Run the VIN number on the car, guess what? It'll come up as a Mustang GT. Oh wait, it doesn't say Cobra. Don't pass your shit up as a Cobra just because you put a Cobra motor in it and threw some badges on it. You're car is a GT, always will be, and will never be as awesome as a Cobra is. Alright, thanks, bye. Sorry about being all pissy. Haven't had the best of days, and it got to me pretty easily. Im sure its a nice car and all. Have fun with it. Don't blow the motor like I did in my Cobra.[/QUOTE] by the way, I never said there where any cobra badges on it, for the second time. ^^ Also I know there were never any "factory" produced cobras until 1993, this one is a prime example of what one would look like.
Goddamned, top swap worked fine for 100km! Then boom block is toast. Guess it didn't want to handle the power and told me to fuck off. Will have to leave the car scene for a bit I guess.

WolvesSoulZ got me looking at superchargers for the 440 7.2 litre, those things are like 4.5k :( [editline]5th August 2012[/editline] Scratch that, thats the racing superchargers :v: God damnit now I want a supercharger.

Stock internals, but I'm not the first one doing that kind of swap, most of the time they success. The block usually withstand more than my goals were on the S/C. My engine had 176,000 km, most highway miles.

Supercharger seems alright. The car still runs, just has this knock. And shavings and stuff.
Well that really sucks and all man. I feel bad for you. 3800s are easy to come by though. Grab a spare one and beef it up, then apply boost where necessary. :)
Well I have to get a running car fast, I work 150km away. And also 2k short. Got 150 in my bank account left.
Shit yo.
Were you just chilling on the way to work enjoying the whine of your supercharger then bam, there goes the motor?
Was just coming back from talking with a friend, going up hill, turning, stop at a stop and bang it begins knocking, heart stops for a moment, I realize what that noise is, tear on my eye, go back home slowly, arrive home, depressed. Now I feel like shit.
tbh though wolvez, you know in the back of your mind "welcome to grand prix's"
Do this [video=youtube;JW9UKJruavQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW9UKJruavQ[/video] And I shall give you $10
What all I know right now is that I want to scrap the whole thing and figure out how to get money to buy another car with a decent engine.
they just tore up one of the curvy streets in my town to repave it FUCK YES

[QUOTE=WolvesSoulZ;37087518]What all I know right now is that I want to scrap the whole thing and figure out how to get money to buy another car with a decent engine.[/QUOTE] You shoulda thought about the upgrade and not just slapped that on there. New pistons, rods, bearings, studs, gaskets and the like. Source out an engine then slowly build it up. I need to start thinking about engine options too
Removed the 318 from the blue dart today, was a total bitch till the end but it's nice to see it out, first thing I could think of to say when it was out was "It's so tiny!" because of all the engines I usually see are race engines. Busy day tomorrow, hopefully I can get a chance to dig into it and go over everything and then sell it. Last week until I have another season of football so I'm trying to get a bunch done because once its starts every day from 3-6 is taken up and I'm usually pooped afterwards. Going to make work on the dart a little difficult but there isn't much stuff.

Sadly since theres shavings its more likely rod knock. I dont think 100 km of a factory option s/c would cause that in 100 km, although it is easiliy the straw that broke the camels back for a failing rod bearing.
[QUOTE=CubeManv2;37087703]they just tore up one of the curvy streets in my town to repave it FUCK YES[/QUOTE] Wish they'd do that on a nearby main road. All they've done is patch holes and it's very, very bumpy.
