2008 Cobra Jet Mustang Engine
|
If this bullet seems familiar to you, it's probably because you've seen the same thing under the hood of '07-'09 Shelby GT500 'Stangs. Despite having a twin 62mm throttle body, 80-lb/hr fuel injectors, a 123mm mass air, American Racing Headers long-tubes, and an Innovators West SFI-approved, 10-percent-overdriven crankshaft damper, Ford engineers actually have dialed-back the TVS supercharged, 5.4-liter bullets in Cobra Jets in order to meet NHRA's strict horsepower-per-cubic-inch requirements, making the 'Stangs eligible for Stock and Super Stock, as well as other Lucas Oil Sportsman categories. Every '08 Cobra Jet is built with a serial number, but does not have a VIN, and therefore they are by no means street legal. The race 'Stangs get their start (bodies and sub-assemblies such as dash, assembled corners, and so on) in Flat Rock, Michigan, at the Auto Alliance International assembly plant, and then are sent to a Ford finishing facility in Livonia, Michigan, where additional parts are installed and the cars are final-prepped.
