mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Does any body run a 99-04 mustang in stock or super stock with the 4.6 mod motor?? I am interested in seeing if one of these cars would be a viable combination in stock or super stock

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Bret Velde runs an 03 (I think) in A/S. It's the 4.6L supercharged rated at 390 HP.

thank you, do you know if anyone runs a n/a 2-v engine??

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Rob Goins runs a 98 2 valve engine in stock

I have not seen any 99 to 04 2V Mustang in Stock Eliminator. I think that a lot of racers are afraid to try to build a race car out of the Modular motor. The 2v modular heads don't flow that well, even the PI heads (99-04) NHRA also doesn't have the specs correct for that engine either. The year 99 valve lift is listed correctly at 505/534 but they messed up the 00 to 04. (280/295) They should be the same. If I were to build one I would build a 01 or later because they have a little more compression and the same factory horsepower rating.

thanks for all the info, maybe i should rethink using that car as a base

I like the 4 Valve DOHC Modular engines on the 96 to 98 Cobras. Stock the DOHC heads flow very well, even better then the LT1s and LS1s. The aluminum block is very strong with 6 bolt mains. I think that it would make a great high-winding engine. The only problem would be at tear-down. It would take more time to take appart.

Only thing about the cobra 4valve is it is a stick only combo correct?

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Yes, stick only.

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

What about a 03-04 Mach 1??? 305 HP 4 valve and I think they came auto.....

Good Point!... That's a nice one and it came with an automatic. The IRS is the drawback here but anyone that decided to build one would likely put in a solid axle.

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

the mach 1 came with a 8.8" solid rear end.

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Yeah they are solid axle and I think they have more compression than a 99-01 cobra....Plus a ram air... kind of

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

I would like to see someone build a Mach 1. I have only driven one Mustang with the Mod Motor in it.

It was an 02 convertible GT with a stick. I really wasn't impressed. The car "felt" really heavy.

In the Fun Ford Weekend series, I think they have the mod motor class. There are some very fast cars, but I think alot of them are stroker mod motors.

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Yes it is the 8.8" solid axle in the Mach 1. That was a bad brain fart ...The 99 and up Cobras came with the IRS.
MM&FF did an article on a completely stock Mach 1 and it ran 13.13-seconds at 105.5.

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

I own a 04 Mach 1 with a manual trans 4.56 gear and a real good tune and it runs 12.20's on drag radials all day no other engine mods and without headers. The potential of the 4 valve modular is there wish I had the $$$ to show you guys. To check out other fast Modular style race cars go to www.nmradigital.com.

The 03 Mach 1 is the only Mach 1 listed in the guide right now. motor is rated at 320 hp by NHRA.

in E/S, the index is 11.95 @ 3370#
D/S 11.80 @ 3210#
F/S 12.10 @3530#
C/FI same as E/S

what do these cars actually weigh? guide shipping weight is 3210#

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

Chris I'd say that's light...I think they would make a good "pure stock" car though. would fit C/PS & D/PS with indexs of 12.75/8.30 &13.10/8.50

Re: mod motor mustang stocker??
 

from Factory the manual car weight is 3465
