  • Say it ain't so Joe

    I got the word this week that the 3rd hiwreck engine in 98 cobra s/c car blew up. Good work there Guys and I hear the customer service is out of this world:laugh_smile:

    I am glad he is done there and he is so pissed right now, Been 2 years and was just getting it close to done. Shitty luck Joe, Do like I said and get a new short block and let's get this baby going. I am sure there are some people here that would pitch in to help you replace that POS hiwrech engine

    That sucks!

    Fastkeen has that 302 long block for sale with headers to get it back on the road for the year. 80K or something on it if I remember right. I think it came out of a 90 fox so it has the good pistons. Prob would be more a pain to get that in then another mod motor thou.

    :dunno:

      I told him last time hiwreck blew the 2nd engine to put in a 351 and I would help him. Who knows this time. If I ever would have built a ford engine it would be a 302 and not one of the popper 4.6 mod motors. Sure are a lot of them going bad. I am sure that shop will read this but too bad this story needs to be told cause he got ripped on this one bad, 50 miles on an engine and it pops again!

                  Joe, I put in a shortblock from MMR, and have had good luck, I have the 5.0 STROKER Street Mod 900 in my 03 Cobra, it was the quietest motor I haven't heard.

                  PM me if you ever want any help or anything. You could just pull yours apart and clean it up, but IMO, pick up a shortblock and go from there.
