Terminator Roadster Build by cChrisM - MK3 7011

I finally did it. What a journey this was.

I got plates for my roadster on 4/25/25. PIcked up the kit on 6/20/09 - 15 years and 10 months.

Here it is. Will try to list the mods another time as they are extensive.

4.6L V8 Supercharged, IRS, T56 6 speed.

As many find, life gets in the way of the dream including 4 kids, working in NYC everyday with late nights, and walking away from the project when issues seem unsolveable.

Thanks ...

Introduced during 2002 as a 2003 model, the SVT Cobra took modern Mustang horsepower to all-new heights with the move to a new, Eaton supercharged DOHC 4.6-liter Terminator V-8. It also featured a standard 6-speed gearbox, redesigned front and rear fascias, ...

Since I am keeping all emissions and keeping the motor stock (for now). I needed to figure out the EGR Tube. This tube basically takes exhaust gases from the manifold and send it back into the intake to be re-burned for a cleaner exhaust/emission. Many delete this as putting dirty hot exhaust into your engine is not something most of us can imagine. However, if Ford and all other Mfgs do it and engines seem to last, I guess it isn't all that bad. :confused:

In short the stock ...
