The article is an excellent read. When comparing the MM 4V needs with the Termi, keep in mind our MM's are heavy pigs and really benefit from the higher compression than needed to get the lighter Mustang body going. Our standard aluminum blocks and even the cast cranks have held up well in the street driven S/C MM applications.

It is a great read but it could use some editing...lol spell check is your friend. So I guess I could slap on the Cobra emblems on and wouldnt be too far off;)

i think the differences are huge, the inturnals are night and day. feel it would be bogus to slap on any corba badges on our cars. IMO

There are errors in that old article also. Such as you have to use 03/04 Cobra cams for the termi swap since the cams were specially made for the Eaton. Bzzzzzzzztttt!!! Wrong! We have those cams, Mach1s, Navis... Dime a dozen.

Yup... and they claim the crank wasn't used in any other mustang... except every other cobra and every manual tranny mach1.

And the whole story that Ford engineers said the WAP block wouldn't take the power the 03 cobra was gonna put out was bull... WAP blocks have been north of 1000rwhp without issues, something even the almighty terminator bottom end won't do, due to rods and pistons...
