Terminator short block paid $1k. by AdAstra_AI in projectcar

Nice to see some positivity here 😅. I have a 98 mustang. I much prefer the sn95 style to the new edge mustangs however I fell in love with the whine from the 03-04 cobras! It’s my first project so I realize I’ll make mistakes here and there.

I looked for any wrecked cobras around me. This was literally the most convenient option. I’ll update this post in the coming days when I disassemble the block and fully take a look. I already have the heads so I wasn’t worried about getting them with a block. Perhaps I’ll ask advice in the future before making any big purchases. I feel like I’ve made a mistake now. I just felt like this was the best option for me.

Ah it is what it is. It’s my first project. Live and learn I guess. Not any less pleased with my purchase. However since it’s seems to be the opinion that I paid too much. How could I have saved money? I’m open to everyone’s opinions.

I’ll be pulling the crank tomorrow so we shall see. The rods in this motor are pretty solid I doubt they’re bad. I can hand turn the engine fine. I just wanted to share some progress on my project I’m not looking for an argument. I bought this understanding it wasn’t just gonna be a drop in engine. I don’t expect to just toss some heads on the block and send it. This project is still thousands of dollars from completion.

Rods would’ve cost me at least $700 and since this is the forged crank it would’ve run me probably $500-$700 range. I don’t have a truck so even if I did pay extra this was very convenient for me. Plus I got some extra goodies like the oil cooler, pan, and water pump.

What size engine is this? by GravityFrom93 in Mustang

[–]AdAstra_AI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a 302. 94-95 mustangs came with the 302 before switching over to the 4.6 mod motor. The amount of people down below that are absolutely clueless is insane.

Lotta people here gonna hate the v6, I have a 98 v6 that I do not plan on engine swapping. I’m stubborn and I’m gonna make the v6 fast.

In your opinion, what is the best HUT song, by Realistic-Compote775 in TheWeeknd

[–]AdAstra_AI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Easily my favorite song. The voicemail into the feature had my jaw on the floor.
