Besides the car needs to be refreshed and I also have all the parts gathered to build a 347 CI EFI motor. Looking forward to it.
I realized I can get a tuner to program out the "stuff" I don't want/need but I would like to keep it as stock as possible, but .......... We all know how that can go. I have talked to few tuners and the best price has been in $1000 range. Do you have leads on antone that is not so pricey?
I have a very extensive collection of Ford wiring diagrams and I have figured out how they do things. I also have some engineering contacts at Ford that help some times. As an electronics tech by profession the electrical stuff has never really been a problem.
I am adapting the the GM 350 Lokar CABLE shifter as I can't approach the tranny shift lever from the rear. I must came in from the front to access the shift lever and the digital sensor. I was lead to believe that the Lokar C4 shifter was not available with a cable format; was I lead astray?
Really appreciate your comments and help
Thanks ...............Wayne

I'm not sure on the Lokar C4 cable shifter - you might want to give Lokar a call directly to find out. I heard they were coming out with a shifter for the E4OD/4R100 trans but couldn't wait so I modified the C4 unit to fit.
Good luck with your project.

They sent a set of uncoated headers, I changed the fitting; sent the headers back and they coated them for me. They will also install the larger Lightning fitting for you, but I wanted to fit it myself to ensure I didn't have modify the EGR pipe.
I'll need to order the headers soon. you say from a 4.6 Cobra, any year specifics? I'd perfer them NOT to have an EGR fitting. Bassani correct?

Cobra headers
Bassani is correct. They will ship them with or WITHOUT the EGR fitting. I think the year is 2000- 2003. I am reasonably sure that there is no difference in headers until you get to the new body style.
Hope this helps. Give Bassani a call they are VERY helpful.
BTW I am trying to buy a new supercharger bypass actuator. Do you have any idea where I can get one without giving up my 1st born? Ford is quoting $280 for a $30 actuator. Mine is broken.
