Eaton Swap Parts List Thread

GOD BLESS AMERICA
Ok here is my idea like get a brain trust going to put down on internet paper what is need for the BASIC install of an Eaton on the Marauder and then get it stickyed....I'll start if you can add something PLEASE post.

Here is the parts list for the 03/04 Eaton Swap to the Mercury Marauder:

Parts are scavenged off the 03/04 Mustang Cobra unless otherwised noted.

The car will have to be dyno tuned afterwards so ask around and find a good tuner in your area.Tell him what you did and he can get you a base tune for your car so you can safely drive it to his shop.Prices will very but figure about $500 if you don't already have a SCT or Diablo handheld tuner.

Eaton Supercharger (Low miles preferred or ported even better)

Billetflow 3.4 or 3.1 pulley, non-slip upper pulley
LFP Quick Change Lower Pulley Kit 2003-04 Mustang Cobra 2#

Intercooler

Intercooler Reservoir( stock works well)

Custom Bracket for Intercooler Reservoir

Intercooler pump #F8YH8501AA (new or used doesn't matter)

Intercooler pump wiring pigtail 3U2Z14S411BJA / WPT260

Intercooler pump bracket #4W33-8N500-A or make your own.

Heater coolant return tube:
for such a little tube it can be a pain...there are 3 ways to go about making clarence for the tube
Either smash the OEM one with a hammer so it clears the lower intake.
If you use the Marauder tube you will also need to plug the small coolant line that goes to the PCV valve fitting on the intake manifold.The Cobra tube does not have this fitting.

There is a lot of 'webbing' under the Cobra lower intake that can be removed to solve the clearance issue between it and the coolant tube. Go slow and check clearance without the gasket in place when the intake just touches the tube then you are done the gasket will add extra space.

or replace it with this one that fits properly:
Cooling tube F8ZZ-18B402-BA
Screw N807959-S309
Bolt N807309-S437

You will need to cut and weld to make a coolant crossover tube from the original in this manner;
Shorten the factory crossover about an inch in height and length. Weld up the end that attaches to the thermostat, removed and rewelded the mounting tabs to the botom of the crossover so they bolt to the heads, move the the other coolant hose nipple(the barb on the passenger side of the crossover tube) so it doesnt hit the belt tensioner.Make a tee from a couple of metal hosebarbs from the hardware store. The tee conects the upper radiator hose to the thermostat.Also either eliminate or plug the hose fitting that goes to the PCV valve fitting on the intake manifold.

swap brackets (conversion brackets)search Gortch on MM.net also 3-8mm x 120mm bolts and 3-8mm x 150mm got mine from Fastenal ,got them next day.

Take the top smooth idler pulley off the passenger side of the timing cover part number XR3Z-8678-BA and install it backwards on the alternator bracket.The alternator may need just a small amount of material removed to clear the pulley.
A ribbed idler pulley#F5RZ-6C348-A needs to be installed where the smooth idler used to be.

Cobra intake tube and MAF

Mafia

IAT sensor; DY-754 /pigtail; WPT-322 or use the Cobra sensor, just get the pigtail #3u2z-14s411-ssa (note, if the blower didn't come with the Cobra sensor you need to get one to plug off the hole anyway.

Here is a wonderful pinout for the MAF swap from 6-wire MM to 4 wire Cobra provided by Fordnut;
From MM > To Cobra
MAF P1 Gy/Rd > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P4 Gy/Rd Signal Return
MAF P6 Gy > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P3 DB/LG MAF Signal
EGR P2 Bn/Wh > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P2 Bn/Wh Reference Voltage
EGR P3 LB/Rd > MAP/BAP/IAT2 P1 Rd/Ye MAP Sensor Signal

If you use the 2 wire sensor then pinout is
MM>Lightning
MAF P1 Grey/Red > Grey
MAF P6 Grey > Grey

Throttle Bracket 2R3Z9728BA and Cable 2R3Z9A758AA or
use the original cable and bracket with one small modification

The MAFia is a good idea, and does not have anything to do with the size of injector.

Lets debate the list a little, revise it and see if we can make it a sticky.
 
Waiting to hear from a major vendor to consolidate a few items on this list to one part#

Stay tuned...
 
Not to high jack but it looks like Bawazir and Zack are NOT the same person Bob, they both just chimmed in on the same thread!
 
I'll add the cobra cooling tube and bolts. for under the intake
Cooling tube F8ZZ-18B402-BA
Screw N807959-S309
Bolt N807309-S437

Would LOVE to see that! The Eaton swap is getting popular.
 
Are we finding someone to make the front brackets now? I thought their was only like 5 of em made?
 
You cant use a Cobra Coolant Crossover in conjunction with the Belt Tensioner Bracket!

Update that 1st post!
 
You will need to cut and weld the original water crossover tube
or use the Cobra cooling tube and bolts.
Cooling tube F8ZZ-18B402-BA
Screw N807959-S309
Bolt N807309-S437

This is confusing. Sould read something like this:

You will need to cut and weld to make a coolant crossover tube by combining the original crossover tube with a Cobra crossover tube.

Heater coolant return tube: Either smash the OEM one with a hammer so it clears the lower intake or replace it with this one that fits properly:
Cooling tube F8ZZ-18B402-BA
Screw N807959-S309
Bolt N807309-S437
 
I was partway with the update when the mrs call out "supper"...so off I went :D I forgot about that nasty little tube under the intake thanks....
 
Just need to modify the marauder crossover, you dont need the cobra tube and the marauders. You can do it with both though if you wanted. I followed impalaslayers example shortened the factory crossover about an inch in height and length. Welded up the end that ataches to the thermostat, removed and rewelded the mounting tabs to the botom of the crossover so they bolt to the heads, moved the the other coolant hose nipple(the barb on the passenger side of the crossover tube) so it doesnt hit the belt tensioner. I made a tee from a couple of metal hosebarbs from the hardware store belive there 1.5 barbs. The tee conects the upper radiator hose to the thermostat.
