[mustangcobra438]

OK its been a long enough sense ive got to build something, much less something of mmy own, so here is the start of my 438 windsor build for a coupe with sporting street radial tires?not drag radials. Were talking about your everyday multipurpose tire. P.S. Their are secrets to making a street tire hook. Yes its a all motor car for now. This car should run 7.70 in the 1000ft. On street tires.

Combo rundown- In coupe that was saved from certain death.

Here is a few pics. They arnt that great cause they were from a I phone but ill get some better ones soon when it starts going together.







Roller Cam Bearings.






















Headed to the machine shop in a couple Hours to get some stuff taken car of and then ive got to wait on the rest of my parts to get in. So hopefully more progress soon. Feal free to give any opinions.

Looks like it's going to be a beast of a motor.  Judging by the pics, you're not going to boost and you're running a dry sump??  Is this a street car?   It's been awhile since I've seen a fox with sidepipe setup so I'm sure you'll recieve a ton of questions on them. 

Good start so far.

Thanks i appreciate it. Its a wet sump for now and all motor. When i started piecing this thing together about 3 years ago a turbo was the last thing on my mind,but since then i bought a 94 cobra off a form member and ive been adicted to boost ever sence. The main purpose of this motor was to run in a all street tire class that had to have a dot 300 treadware tire,hince no drag radials. This motor actually has been together once before and ran a 7.89 in the 1000ft. on a Winston Winner street tire, I know its a crazy ass class that not many people would ever believe. 
I plan on playin in the street radial class this year and then over the winter pull out the pistons/cam and start getting it ready for twin GT47-88 and FAST XFI. The motor is 15.5.1cr. right now and going to run c16. The car is not a street car but it will be running in a class were tags and insurance is manditory. As for the coupe its a good frieds car that is building a Ztrim motor for it but he donated it to the cause for this year. Its funny people either hate this car or love it, as for me i love the side pipes on this coupe even though they will be for looks with my motor in it. The motor was supposed to be shifted a 8,000 but i dont think im going to turn it that hard for a while.

[mustangcobra438]

Well the block is still at the machine shop and i still havnt got any of the parts in yet. Maybe the rings,bearings,ect will be here by the end of next week so i guess its time for me to start working on the car itself.

[Dave R]

Can't wait to see what this motor will do.  Run some 3" pipes to those side pipes and enjoy the compression rumble.  It'd make for a good loud sound at the lights when staged. 

Keep it up.

[turbofreek]

get the cobra together already

[mustangcobra438]

Im workin on it man. I have full intentions of getting the cobra running but ive just got to many people talkin shit about my windsor so ive got to get it done and show them whats up.

[Dave R]

Must be some "real" serious racers if they're talking crap about the motor in these pics.  I think it's going to scream for you.  You'll change your mind about swapping pistons and just keep it as is, if not throw a simple 125 or so shot on it. 

I say fuck them.  Build it and don't let anybody get to you about it.  You'll shut everyone up on your time.  I'm pretty sure of that.

[10secgoal]

Subscribing. Building a boosted version of your motor. Good luck man. Looks like it'll be a hand full for sure.

[mustangcobra438]

I'm really glad to see that people are liking this build. I have a whole list of parts ordered from Kuntz&Co. That I'm suppose to pick up this weekend. So hopefully I will be assembling a motor and updating some motor secrets that will keep them alive longer at high rpm.

[slowboat]

Really interested in following this build. Thanks for posting this up. All I can say is wow.

[10secgoal]

Have you had them flowed ? I plan to once I get time to clean them up. But I couldn't find any particular number on my castings. Sure it's up there though. There is no short side radius on the exhaust.

Thanks, Ill make sure to post all that I can on this build.

[mustangcobra438]

Im pretty sure they flowed 347 on a superflow. The guy that ported them is the only person that i will let port my heads + he is thousands cheeper than others. They may not have the re-sale value of a set of C&C but i know i like his work. He is all about MPH when he does a set of heads. Its so funny to me because im putting this motor up against 550+in big block chebys and they have only ran 1mph faster than this motor did. I fully plan on getting the new mph record and the et record with this thing when its back together. My friend that i bought this setup off of is a member on here that is building a outlaw 10.5 car, he held the record with this motor for a long time, but the new record is only a tenth and 1mph faster than what he ran in 3,100lb car. Im only making a few minor changes to the setup for weight reasons.
This car is going to be on 275/60/15,400 treadware street radials. Is your setup in the builds board anywhere?

[10secgoal]

400 tread ? your fuckin crazy.

That's the build. Took it down, then deals started popping up everywhere. So the new goal is not to crash the car. think I may skip the E85, and go pump and a solid from Steve

Thats awsome man that thing should run real good.

Man i would really like to use the side pipes but i allready have 4'' collectors,pipe,and 4'' bullets that im going to put on it. Maybe we can make this 4'' fit in the side pipe G effects.

[mustangcobra438]

The Exhaust   Im thinking about redoing all of this in aluminum because it would be a hell of a lot lighter.

[mustangcobra438]

Here is some more pics to show how much work i have to do in a very short amount of time. E.T.A is 2 months to be finished.




a little n2o for future hot street class and drag radials instead of street tires.


Head liner 5.0 with flames.








Well now its time to bust out the welder and start body working the inner fenders.
im headed to Kuntz in the morning to pick up some parts and drop off some of my buddys 7721 to get ported for his YSI windsor. Ill update new pics of progress soon. Thanks fo all the input guys and let me know what you think of ot through the build. If yall think i need to resize the pics let me know. Im fixin to go fab up the manual brakes intil time to leave. You can say im somewhat of a nite owl.

[SHOWTIME!!]

Hey Matt, you need to post those pictures that you took the other night of the engine bay after we tore the wiring harness and everything else out of it. It looks ALOT better.

[mustangcobra438]

just a few new pics.


friend jake helping pull some wireing.










Im really ready to get this thing together. Hopefully the motor will be completely done by the end of next week.

[mustangcobra438]

Has anyone used a fluxcore welder to weld up the holes in the inner fenders before? could someone please show me some pics of thier fender and firewall transformations?
  Thanks, Matt.
