Started out as an original Reef Blue 5.0 LX Hatch. It lived a hard rough life.

The engine was removed along with all wiring, interior, and fuel system.

The first round involved using an 01 Cobra intake and running a Vortech V2 supercharger.

I wasn't happy at all with the performance or the looks of the Vortech so I decided to replace it with a ported Eaton.

The vortec is rather bulky the Eaton gives a way cleaner look did you modify the engine harness you had or switch to 03 cobra engine harness when you upgraded to the Eaton?

I used the 04 harness when the Vortech was on it. I've since swapped the Eaton for a 2.2L KenneBell.

All stock internals. 64,000 miles on engine and T56. I've only put about 4 miles on it over the past year. Keep coming up with new ideas. Just finished installing the Reichard idlers last week.

Nothing. I traded the Vortech for the complete Eaton set-up. Started right up with the same tune.

I don't feel mine will ever get done. It runs and drives fine but my work schedule doesn't allow much time for me to work on it right now.

I felt the same way it took me over 2 years to get me where I am now and I still got along way to go.keep at it the car is looking awesome.
Did you use only the '04 cobra engine harness or did you swap all the wiring?

All the wiring was swapped from the donor car.

Thanks! It's coming along slowly.
The vortec is nice but you are going to see a night and day difference with the eaton. The instant torque make it fell like driving a big block.
