how about july 26-27? that seems really good for me (or any weekend before that)

smashedheadcat · 05-27-2003, 03:22 PM

I'm good for it. I can bring a small set of tools. There aren't many tools involved in this swap. I believe the header bolts are 12mm. The only big socket/wrench we'll need is 21mm for the motor mounts. I can bring a floor jack or some jackstands, and possibly all the tools needed if I have to, so we've got the tools covered. So it's 3 guys, and 2 header swaps in 1 weekend, with basic hand tools. I'll bring the beer

If you guys do this, let me know what weekend and all that. I may show up to "supervise" if I don't have other plans that weekend.

When we're ready to do this, I'll give ya a call Ken. I'll be a pro at header installs when it's time to do yours

BTW. There are somethings you need to get besides the just the headers and h-pipe. I believe the mounting hardware comes with them IIRC. But, it doesn't come with header gaskets. Also, if you go with an off-road pipe of some sort, MIL Eliminators will keep the check engine light off. Definately nice. But, biggest thing, YOU WILL NEED O2 EXTENSION WIRES. My stock wires were only a few inches short, but they still wouldn't work. So, header gaskets and extension wires and that should cover just about everything. One more thing. I modified the header flange on the passenger side. It was to ease the installation when it came to the oil dipstick. It's a pain in the a$$ to work around that dang thing. If you want to modify yours as well, I'll need a grinder of some type. (I can bring one just in case)

It'll probably be a PINTA for me to take a picture of that "modification" to the header flange, but I'll try to get a descent picture of what I did. This is definately going to be fun

I just read about the emission tubes for the 98 cobras. I guess there's some kind of "Modifying" job that's needed to mate the stock emission tubes to the long tubes. I've never done this, so I don't know what to expect??

I'm not 100% familar with the issue but I know what you're talking about. I'll research it and see what I can come up with.

Found this thread over on the Corral: Click

smashedheadcat · 05-30-2003, 03:12 AM

That's the thread that I made me aware of this issue. I don't know what route you want to take. Are both long tube candidates 98's???

Yeah we're both 98's. I'm going to do a little more research and see what I can find out about the differences between the two.
