2003/2004 Mustang Cobra Turbo 400 / TH-400 Swap / Conversion

Any updates?? You get a chance to go to the track or is Airbus training messing with your free time??

If you make a huge gain as predicted, I will have to load up the credit card prior to Pinks!!

Not time. I am going to pull the trans and get the converter adjusted first.

Seat of pants tells me it is quick.

Well, pick a date and lets hit the track. Since mine is down I could actually watch.

great detail on the thread man.
im about to do this swap. I think its a must for a turbo car looking for good times at the track.

Ive just gotten really sick of pulling this "built" T45 all the time.
ive pulled it for the last time.

couple questions for ya though,
how do you plan on doing the wiring? like the speedo and reverse lights?

I used the front ABS senors for the speedo. I dumped my ABS when I went with the solid axle with 9" ends.
Here is how I did it.

The shifter I used has a switch for the backup lights and neutral safety.

I just tapped into the stock tranny harness for the revers lights.

Then you just tap into the clutch safety switch (near the pedal) for the safety lockout. So the car will only start in Park or Neutral with the auto to be NHRA legal and safe.

The B&M cooler has been working great in the 100+ Arizona temps. I see 160 cruising around on the streets. I have not seen anything over 180 after spirited driving up to the speed limit.

LOL maybe this weekend. It is hot here now, but it should cool to the 80's during the late night runs. I have to get the two step wired into the transbrake switch.

Jeff, let me know if you go. I have a S197 I need to get some track times before I start modding!
