What's the difference, motor wise, between 03 mach 1 and 03 cobra, besides the eaton blower?

 

....anything?

 

I think almost everything is different, but the the main difference is the supercharger. The cobra motors are hand built also.

 

that's no good, was hoping i could pick up a mach 1 instead of a cobra and put my own supercharger on, save some money since i would replace the cobra's eaton anyway

 

yeah mach 1 is missing the forged internals and iron block to take all the wonderful boost.

 

Has more to do with the internals than the block. Seen many aluminum blocks handle 700+hp.

Stock Machs can handle ~8-10psi of boost before they go . . boom! That puts them into the 415-450hp. It really all depends on the tune, but at some point without forged internals the motor will let go.

5-speed Machs do have forged cranks (same as Terminator) but have powdered coated metal rods and hyper pistons. (Auto Machs have cast crank 6-bolt.)

Machs have 10:1 Compression and Terminators have 8:5:1.

Same Cams/Heads/Radiators

 

yeah i know its more about the internals...i'm just giving ford the benfit of the doubt since they claimed all along it was cause of strength rather then cost..

 

Terminators are built for boost. Mach is a good candidate for spray.
