I am using a 2007 4.6 3 V motor in a Cobra kit car. I will be using a Ron Francis standalone engine wiring system that utilizes the Ford ECM and all the sensors etc. I have to use a SN95 fuel tank for fit. I plan to use a Walbro TU229HP returnless fuel pump which is 255LPH. My question is...

I know this is an old post but did you shim in the end and by how much if you did? My apologies did not see page 2. Thanks for the excellent info.

Thanks for the input, yes the pickup has to be shortened and that will be done once the welding is complete. Welding is underway, we are doing some welding and some brazing, will clean the pan with acid and give it a alkali rinse then test for leaks. The cobra steering shaft is well above the...

Thanks Racer47, that is good info you have given. The car is not intended for racing but who knows what we might do in the future, but not circular track. When I look at the shallow pans from Moroso and Champ they have a horizontal section above the hinged baffles with drainage at the edges and...

Thank you JC SSP for your response, sorry about lack of photo. I am keeping the stock windage tray and I believe the oil level should not be higher in the modded pan than the stock pan. So the issue is to prevent oil build up excessively laterally during cornering or forward during braking. I am...

I am using a 2007 4.6 3v motor in a Cobra kit car and I have to cut 2" off the depth of the oil pan. I have widened the lower section to 14.5" so I don't loose capacity, in fact I will pickup a 1/2 quart. I am figuring about 5 1/2 quarts in the pan and 1 quart in the filter, based on pan area I...

In a pinch made my own with a wood clamp 3/4" black pipe nipple and cap. Drilled and tapped into the clamp to hold the pipe pieces firmly in place. Cut windows in the nipple and the plastic cap on the screw section of the clamp is perfect for fitting onto the valve head. Ok for heads off work

I have a module from a 2007 gt (V8) that you can have for $20 + shipping. The vin 4th digit is F

Thanks for your response GlassTop, after I asked my question I found your post of Sept 2019 regarding the PCV valve issues with this engine. After some thought about this I believe you are exactly correct on the mechanism of pitting corrosion of the cam lobes and follower rollers. The neglect of...

You are really clued up on this motor Glasstop. I wonder if you have any thoughts on a 2007 Mustang issue I have as follows: I bought this engine from a wrecked GT with only 70k miles on it which was stripped from the wreck and stored for several years as the owner planned to do an engine swap...
