Looking to purchase an entire Eaton Swap kit. I have a blower but I need everything else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You won't find it. You will have to piece it together. Anyone who says they have a complete "kit" is stretching it.
 
it pretty much is a search and buy type thing. there is a list of parts on a thread in the power adder section. member lji372 sells sone of the key items such as brackets and a stainless cross over tube while supplies last. print out the list and check parts for sale here, corral.net, svt. ebay.

Don't listen to this, these can be found on eBay often enough, I just bought one via a Facebook group last week. You just need to wait. If waiting is not an option, you must piece together. In fact there's one on ebay right now. There are several parts you need to make the swap work, check the thread on this site for info. You can just sell off what you don't need which is what I am doing.

Also while on the subject, you can get an M122 conversion plate and run the newer style M122 blower which points to the drivers side. Thus negating the need to move the battery, etc.

I'm not sure if anyone here has done it to a Marauder, but I may attempt this route.

Don't listen to THIS. ^^^^

You are not going to find everything you need with one click. Sorry, but it just isn't going to happen. How about the 4 million hose clamps you will need? Do you want to use used ones even if they are included? What about the custom made brackets to mount the intercooler radiator or the coolant resorvoir? The myriad of bolts and nuts that you will need? Fuses and relays? An upgraded FPDM? A more powerful fuel pump? A fuel filter and line kit to rid the car of the restrictive bends? Electrical wiring? Shrink wrap? Heavy gauge battery wire and terminals? Just when you think you have it all there is more to buy.

I hope you find what you need.

Don't forget correct upper and lower pullies, bigger MAF , Diablo translator, battery, battery tray, MAF tube, tune, larger than oem heat exchanger, better heat pump, fuel pump, belt, wiring, cot tube, air filter, etc for that eBay cobra stuff to fit a marauder

Buying the cobra "kit" off eBay is a step backwards imho. I'm sure someone here can point out the useable parts list off it is less than the actual parts needed for the swap

Parts you would actually use for marauder swap:
Upper and lower blower kit
15 year old injectors
15 year old heat exchanger and pump
Intake elbow, tube and used air filter


This is why I think it's a step backwards, your going to sell off 3/4 of the stuff you just bought cause it's not usable on our cars :)
Feel free to add to the list of useable parts that would actually make it onto the marauder

Factory marauder fuel rail can be bent to fit
 
looking into the eaton swaps that have been done here for years I would venture on a different route, I would gather all the items for the eaton swap but would go for the Cobra engineering mid plate to use as then any shelby blower(07-12) can be adapted on and keeps the air inlet on the same side...you can later go to the TVS factory unit (13-14) or even set up to a whipple and so on, Ive seen a couple set up already and look bad ass!
plus the shelby blowers from 07-12 will more more air than the cobra ones.....

just a thought........

Good luck on either way to go.....
 
Choice boils down to stock internals, upgraded internals, full on motor build. and of course $$ budget. bigger blower means better engine and higher budget.
 
Multiple members have been doing the eaton swap for years. This is not a big deal if you are patient & do your homework. You can also call Mo in Georgia for his recommendation.
 
I don't care to get into a pissing contest with anyone. The point is go the direction you want that benefits you most, leveraging the knowledge of those around you who have done the swap. I paid $1600 shipped for mine, all I needed to order were the brackets, lower pulley, and MAF adapter. Sure there may be some other small pieces but it depends on you, what you have to spend, and your goals. Would I pay $3200 for an "Eaton Swap"? No. $1600 and sell off what I don't need? All day.

Exactly... Zack is probably the one guy who can do it the cheapest due to the fact he's done so many and he has his sources all figured out. I'm at right about $5500 for mine all said and done. No Labor obviously. That did include buying a BRAND NEW blower assembly and some of the ways I did my hoses and what not are not the cheapest but I wanted them to look and function a certain way.

$1600 for an Eaton swap with (nearly) everything you need? What exactly did you get for that money? :confused:
He was talking about an Eaton "kit", not just a blower, a manifold and maybe a radiator and pump.

I never totaled mine up, but I went with brand new/best of everything and did it myself. I bet it is around $6000.
 
I did an Eaton swap 2 years ago. In all total car back on the road driving it cost close to 10K. I did not have good connections for parts or anything. You will spend a ton of time working on it and even more time reading on here!
After about 3000 miles on the blown motor, i bent every connecting rod in the motor... now just had to build a new motor and tranny and i am in another 10k... There are definitely ways to get things done easier and cheaper but the people who have that wisdom aren't in your garage! haha
 
I bought mine with a blown motor, so I built the short block around a very high end goal. Now that I am heading down that path I won't need to worry about much.
 
eaton swap

I've done this 1 time. and about to be 2. I can do it all about $4500. you need jerry's eaton swap brackets and cot to even make this work. plus you need a tune, x4 sct. yes it is not cheap. tune wise I always go through martyo. he knows his stuff well, and he will tune your car safe, but make it fun at the same time.:banana2: eaton swap kits on ebay are sold for mach 1 mustangs. waste of $$$$ for a marauder.
