SVT98t's 2003 Mercury Marauder **DUW**

[pantera77]

You need to finish it and take it to lancaster right now. I don't care if it's closed or not.

man your killing me with these pics , your making it hard for me to want to keep mine n/a , i'm gathering pieces for a cam swap , but a blower may be a better idea

[thunderbirdlver]

Oh I know! I really wish I had some cash!

[SVT98t]

They make an adaptor to fit this Cobra Eaton M112 on a 2v 4.6!

how much is the adaptor? got any links?


btw, Im surprised, you are like the only one on this forum with a decent stall converter; thats like the best money spent!

[SVT98t]

Yeah, after i put the 3500 stall in, it realllllly boogied.

I might have to do this to the Tank after i get the Whipple 3.4 for the Marauder.

Took the Marauder out the past couple days. Smoked a CV Sport with J-mod, K&N, Plenum, and Xcal2.
Water pump is in the process of shitting itself. That means it's time for the Meizire Electric pump.
Tranny feels like shit.
Blah.
I'll worry about it later.

Sorry I missed the meet. Would've loved to see this sucker. Wasn't even thinking right. To much on the mind. Maybe it'll come to a cruise night yes?

Im not too crazy about the electric water pump myself

BTW, that rear bumper diffuser, where do you get one?

Spanks!

I'd really like to eventually get an SCT tune, but i'll wait until I get exhaust, airbox, gears, and pulleys. I hear it helps the TBW bigtime.

[SVT98t]

Yes it does mang.

In about an hour, I get to go pick up the Marauder for a weekend. I have to reseal the water pump and then have it inspected monday.
And since the battery is disconnected, that means i have to drive it over 50 miles to have the PCM reset. And i have to get it inspected before i put the supercharger on.
Oh, darn.

Looks like a nice weekend for cruising!!!!

I'll take some pics and videos.

Since the Tank blew a wheel, i have to drive th Marauder. I really can't complain. It hasn'
t rained in the 6 days i've had it out. And my landlord offically gave me a parking spot in his garage. So now I don't have to drive 20 miles to go get my car. Outstanding!
The A/C is becoming questionable right now. I don't blame it. Its 95* out.
The cruise to Watkins Glen really put me in the mood for putting the supercharger on.
I just need a few more parts and pieces!!

I adjusted the shift cable. I broke the previous one installing the new tranmission. I used to have to push on the shifter to get it to start. I also found out that if i accelerated hard enough, it would kick it into 2nd gear and would not shift out. It would hang up around 70 mph. No fun.
Now everything is good. Well, with the shifter, it is.
When i was underneath the car adjusting the shift cable, i noticed alot of rust.
~NO BUENO~
So this winter, i'm lifting the body off, and doing a frame resto. Sand blasting, powdercoating, POR15, and LINE-X will be running rampant.
And i'll probably be powdercoating everything black and red.

It still hauls ass, by the way.
