I have to get an AUTO trans for this Cobra

[FirstWorldProblems]

it's worth it to switch to an auto just to have that center console

 

[Zack]

I made this one myself, let me know if you need any help or if you want to use mine as a template

Totally awesome!

I think some cardboard and scissors on my spare console will do the trick, as it doesnt appear to be that difficult to make.

What material did you use? Looks like 18ga Aluminum?

T56 Stuff Sold, Proformance Th400 Ordered.

 

[ProRauder]

TH400, GV OD and a transbrake. This setup ROCKS!

:headbang:

 

[Zack]

I made the grueling trek to Elburn, Il yesterday to pick up my TH400.

Dave at ProFormance is an incredibly cool dude and has a nice shop with a lot going on.

All I need to do now is save for a Gear Vendors and Ill be back in action for 2011. Im really hoping I can sneak this trans past the SW headers....if I have to loosen one side Ill be really really pissed.

 

[Zack]

I think I finally found a used Gear Vendors worth bidding on.
The next 7 days is gonna be grueling hoping I win this damn thing.

Nice, free shipping. It looks heavy. Good to see some progress with this.

 

[Zack]

Id love to have the car done for Kurgan to retune in april.

 

[Zack]

I didnt win the Gear Vendors OD.
Dummies bid it up to $2,225, and its 10 years old.
A Brand New unit costs $2595. Again, totally DUMB.

 

[Zack]

Gear vendors on the way! Scored a brand new unit on ebay for 600 less than new! Cobra relaunches in May 2011.

ebay=bad:lmao:

Shifter ordered and shipped

Still waiting on my Carbon Fiber Console panels I ordered from 4sdvenom on ModFords.
Still need a dipstick and make the trans mount/shorten driveshaft.

Hell, I forgot I have a brand new Killer Chiller in the basement for this turd!

 

[Zack]

The Gear Vendors is in my posession, what a relief.
Gonna get the Marauder finished for tuning at the Kurgan Dyno Days, then hustle and finish the Cobra in time for the CMC opener at Sutton.
WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

[Terminator-Fux]

I'd love to see this thing at the CMC opener! I gotta see what Dave can do for me for a built AOD for my slow Fox.

 

[Zack]

Bit the bullet and ordered a new Trans Jack with Foot pump.
Now, I have to figure out how Im gonna get a 16" wide Bellhousing between the headers that are 12" apart.

 

[Zack]

Amazingly, its almost done!

Wait till you drive it for the first time, you won't stop smiling for a week.

Oh, did I mention I got a 3.4/Crusher for it too? :burnout:

If I could do it over Id get an FB 4r70w with a manual valve body.
One wire for the Lockup, thats it. Add shifter, shorten DS, DONE.

Hindsight = 20/20
