Since I've sunk a little bit of money in my Mach, I might as well start a thread on it.
Here is the morning after I bought it back in June of last year
I drove it for a couple months totally content with the car until I came across an eBay auction with 03-04 Cobra Eaton parts one night with an insanely cheap price so I started collecting parts. I got all the stuff in the pic below for $50 shipped
I then found a takeoff unit from a crate motor along with a wiring harness and other goodies for $800. I then sold all the previous stuff which more than paid for the new zero mile stuff
But if I put a blower on my car, what will I need for a fuel system? And won't I blow up my TR-3650? Problem solved! T-56 and complete tank and pump setup from a 36k mile Cobra. Got the transmission, crossmember, alum driveshaft, Steeda tri-ax, alum flywheel, and complete tank and pumps for $1250
Many hours on the internet doing research and scouting for parts, it's time to dig into this mother f'er.
The wife wasn't too thrilled seeing a car we just bought 6 months prior in this state
Now it's starting to look like an engine again. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
Here's some vid action of the initial startup. I had a very big SEG this day.

And it's maiden voyage to check for leaks and to put some fuel in the almost empty tank.
And finally, here it is on the rollers making sure the A/F is in check (cause my lazy ass still hasn't wired up my wideband, lol). Car made 439hp/405ft lbs w/ 11.0-2:1 AFR.

That about sums it up so far. I am waiting for my fab guy to get the shaker bracker back from the machine shop so we can coat it. Then it will be 100% done as far as the swap goes. Not sure what is next for it.
