69R-CODE 25 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Here is a quick video after we broke the engine in, I let my old man get in the car and play. I recorded it on my iphone. It does not do it justice. I think it sounds great. Bad part is now I have to figure out if my oil leak is a rear main seal, oil galley plugs, or pan gasket. Either way, i am afraid the Cobrajet is coming back out. Oh well. I have this video to listen to when I get mad. Enjoy!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeZLdJf3AcI&feature=youtu.be Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ash 145 Report post Posted August 14, 2012 Oh yes! Wow, can't beat the sound of an FE, that's wild! Man I wish mine was at that point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69R-CODE 25 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks Ash and 70. Update to all: We are going to pull the trans and pressure plate Saturday. Look and see where its leaking from. I have been reading a lot of posts and discussions on the FE Forum and CJ Registry. It might be the rear main seal. It may be the cam plug or oil galley plugs. I have even been told that if we didnt put thread sealer/locker on the flywheel bolts it could leak from there. Hell it could even be the oil pan gasket. Bottom line is before we pull it back out of the car I want to see exactly where its coming from. I am hoping that its something simple but my gut tells me I am going to have to start over.

Ash 145 Report post Posted August 17, 2012 That really sucks to hear. I think you're tackling it the right way though. Hopefully it is something simple. Even though removing the trans is not what you want to do, lets hope that solves it and that's where it ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69R-CODE 25 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 After a few months of down time on my cobrajet project I am back. We pulled the engine out in August and found the rear main seal was put in wronge. Instead of making the same mistake again, I took it to a professional to be installed. Got her put back in the car last weekend and broke the cam in with no leaks!!!! Here is a video with it at an idle. Car has been sitting, so forgive the dirt and dust! We took the hooker super comps off and went back with stock manifolds. The headers were touching both shock towers. Now at least there is some daylight between the two. I hope to have the driveshaft and shifter in next weekend and move her under her own power. Fingers crossed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jandj1970 13 Report post Posted April 24, 2013 69R-CODE I just bought a set of headers from FPA for my 70mach1 with a Cleveland in it. If your looking at some new headers give them a call, they ask a lot of questions in regards to your car. Car sounds nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69R-CODE 25 Report post Posted May 29, 2014 Been a long time but I dropped the car off to have painted this week. The shop is going to call me when its time to paint so I can sign off on the color. I told them to use the original (Gulf stream Aqua) PPG Code 13329. and to use Low Gloss Black 9295 for the Hood, Wing,. I have noticed a lot of variations of Gulf stream Aqua. Does anyone have advice, pics, ect they could share? Or, have I gone with the correct choice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
