Glad I found this channel. You are a wealth of knowledge!

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

Thank you for finding it. It's pretty much a small channel but I'm trying to put out some good content. Feel free to reach out anytime if you need help with your car. I'm on the Facebook forums as well.

Can’t wait for part 2. About to do this!

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

Thanks Aaron, I’m editing it now and it should have it out soon.

Great info. Mike. I appreciate the time you're investing to show people mostly everything you can to do this swap.

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

Thank you Joe. I really appreciate your comment.

@@MikesGarageRoute66 i just know how frustrating it can be when you're looking for info. and someone only gives part of it. You're being pretty thorough with this. All the Mustangs I've had, and all the parts I've had apart or replaced and didn't create video and wish I had.

Nice info. I need for my marauder asap.

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

Thank you for watching. I'll have the second video pretty soon for the installation. Its about an hour long and I'm spending a decent amount of time editing. It should be pretty complete.

[@Lethal_Venom]

wow sounds like quite the process

It is, wait for the install, you have to grind away material from the block. As always, thank you for watching!

@@SN95Power Sounds like it was a really good runner. Are you at the Kankakee car show?

[@canadianmarauder1923]

Thanks for doing this Mike. I’m piecing mine together slowly. I’m hung up on what I should do for the intercooler setup now that Vmp came out with an upgraded 03/04 cobra intercooler. I believe cobra engineering makes a nice water manifold for it too. 1” lines. Just not sure if this is a good idea or is overkill for my setup. Your intercooler stuff all 1/2” ?

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

The upgraded ones are really nice. It depends on the price. If you are going stockish boost the oem is fine. Thank you for watching.

My 99 gt was super charged and a was done with every part done from suspension 6 speed wheel's K member. Bulit the motor in it and when finished it was dyno and put out 790 rear wheel hp. 820tq.

Great video Mike. My friend has a ZY Mach 1 and said he had an eaton swap and was going to swap it on And wanted some help. I asked him if he had all the parts. This video will be great for him. Great information. Great video. I don’t think I would have added the oil cooler. Any real reason you chose to keep that part of the swap?

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

I’m glad it will help. In the second video I will get into a lot more details. On a side note, Today is the Mach 1’s first car show. If it all works it I’ll be parked next to another 2003 azure blue Mach 1. Thanks for watching!

[@2k4terminator]

Hey Mike can you show how you routed the hose from power steering pump to get it away from the alternator. Or what you used also?

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

I used the stock lines but had to really bend it. Also be careful with the alternator power wire so it doesn't come close to touching the alternator case. It could burn the car down so just watch for that.

[@TopMach1]

Hey man was thinking about doing a 2.3 whipple supercharger on my Mach1 what all will I need thank you in advance lol

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

You would need forged rods and pistons. Unfortunately in stock form, it will grenade.

[@TopMach1]

@@MikesGarageRoute66well damn how much are Termi rods?

[@magnoliophyta2251]

How necessary is the Cobra tank if I can get a hold of the Cobra hat with the 2 fuel pumps? Would they even fit a Mach 1 tank?

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

You really want to get a Cobra tank because of the built in baffles. ON3 makes a reproduction tank if you need one.

Hello did you use Mach 1 radiator hoses or cobra? 10:56

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

Hi Sky I used ones for a Mach 1, but a manual Mach 1 and a Cobra use the same radiator.

[@user-fi4op7fi4v]

Oh ok I am putting a Eaton kit on my 03 Mach 1 and it’s a automatic. What radiator hose you think I should use?

[@FANET0]

Are the steps the same for a 1999 cobra

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

Great question. The answer is no because the 99/01 Cobras have different heads. If I had a 99 Cobra I would buy the Kenne Bell 2.1 kit. It would be the best package for you. Thank you again for watching!

@@MikesGarageRoute66 I have the S / C, intake, plenum, bridge, and elbow I found a timing cover, for 300.00 I’m ready to sell it and wait for a complete setup or go with a turbo

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

@@djtommyboypro I’d stay away from turbo on these. The lower end is only so strong and your really won’t take advantage of the turbo. I’ve seen people grenade their stock 4.6 with 425 to the wheels.

[@djtommyboypro]

@@MikesGarageRoute66 do you have a source for the bracket kit to keep the factory timing cover

[@abasiczombie.]

@@MikesGarageRoute66 turbo is easier, cheaper, more efficient and doesn’t stress the engine as much as a positive displacement supercharger. The instant boost from an Eaton will tear through these non forged mod engines where as the turbo will ease into it. Plus, you’ll get the same power with a few pounds less of boost

[@jasonhayes3944]

Well dang won’t work for me got a 96-98 cobra b headed 😢

[@MikesGarageRoute66]

You can always do a Centrifugal Supercharger. That may be the best option.

[@jasonhayes3944]

Yeah thought about that but I was hoping for the more budget friendly option of an Eaton swap
