      I swapped stock cams to 96-98 Cobra cams. I am also running 03' 4.6 DOHC heads.

          I know, right? We were discussing this a while ago and I was like the only way that shit will work is if the entire section of the plenum gets cut off and nudged over and put together again somehow, likely with trimming still being needed on the engine side... And sure enough, that's exactly what he did! Shame that bitch ain't made of steel, I'd have had a field day with it - plastic not so much, he obviously gots way much talent there.

              Thanks mangs.

              We are close to being finished tuning the car so I made a couple of videos.

              Here is a short walk around.

                The level of workmanship that went into your car is above reproach. It has to be the perfect box panther!

                How's the A/C?

                  The A/C doesn't currently work. I need to source a temp sensor that goes into the top of the evap housing. Until that's hooked up it won't work. It's charged and everything, just won't turn on without that sensor.

                      planning to boost it?

                        That's great. Superb really. I would even love to get caught at the worlds longest stoplight if I was driving that. Looks and sounds stellar.

                            Ain't you gonna lose a bunch of the charge when you go to put the sensor in?

                              Thanks guys. The car will be staying na. No plans to add boost at this time. The temp sensor goes into the Evap housing and doesn't actually attach to any a/c components that have freon running through them. I think it's just a sensor that tells the PCM when the evap starts to freeze.
