Pencils down! Here are your answers!

What were the only colors available for the '93 Cobra?

There were 4 colors available in 1993. They were Vibrant Red Clearcoat, Ebony, Teal(which was more blue than anything), and Performance Red for the '93 R.

What were the engine differences between the 93 GT and 93 Cobra?

Let's start at the Induction and work our way through the engine. The MAS was the 70mm version, calibrated for 24# injectors, the throttle body was a stock GT 60mm unit, however there was not an EGR spacer since the Intake manifold incorperated it. The Intake manifold was based on the popular GT-40 unit, but with special decals on top. The heads were GT-40P heads with larger 1.84in and 1.54ex valves, which were actuated by 1.7 Crane roller rockers, and a(ready for this?) production 5.0L Thunderbird camshaft. And there you have it, heads, cam, and intake.

In what year was the first big block shoe horned into a Mustang? What was the designation of that car? (ie, Cobra Jet, Mach 1, Boss 429, etc)

1967 GTA (which stood for Grand Touring American<if i'm not mistaken>) And for bonus points Capri306 even nailed the cid and the fact that it was an FE.

What year saw the last 351 powered Saleen Mustang?

2000 with the SR model. That was kinda tricky on my part, but it is still a Mustang based Saleen.

What does SVE and SVO stand for?

Special Vehicle Engineering and Special Vehicle Operations

Who is in charge of SVT vehicles?

Tom Scarpello, what you didn't know that? Shame on you!!

What is the "magic number" for setting the base timing on a mostly stock 5.0?

14* Set the timing AFTER you pull the spout!


Good job guys. I'll get to work on another one. I gotta rack my brain a bit and see what I can come up with. By the way this stuff is ALL I ever think about. Isn't it great to be me? Stop laughing!

Later!
