Definitely unique for sure. Plus the classic cobra whine is hard to beat even if it means the blower isn’t the most efficient. Sometimes it is nice to let the motor sing.
@@dsrrecordsent Its a 4.6L double overhead cam v8. They rate it at 300fwhp in truck trim. Its the same heads, cams, block, and rotating assembly as a 03-04 marauder and automatic Mach 1's. They use a dual runner intake manifold which is pretty cool too.
@@nicko9725 The Aviator uses the same 184° duration @ .050 intake cams as the Marauder, Mach 1, and 03-04 Terminator Cobra. The rotating assembly is an 8bolt cast crank rather than the 6 bolt stuff found in the automatic Machs and Marauders but are the same iron crank otherwise. The rods and pistons are identical components. Only the terminator cobra got the beefy manley rods and Forged pistons.
The Cobra swap has already been done a guy in New Jersey did it to a 4.0 for like 8 years ago. He has a channel here and I think it ran low 12 high 11s
Hi Jared. Joe has subsequently sold this vehicle unfortunately. It was a super cool rig, but as with most of us here in the shop, we're enthusiasts that tinker around and trade frequently. Sorry!
Do you guys have any cobra engines..? I have a 2007 Ford Explorer V8, stock. But there’s oil getting into one of my spark plugs so I wanted to upgrade to an engine that makes it fun every time I drive. Thank you
I really think you should get into the AMG market since yall know superchargers so well. Please ditch the running boards, the roof rack, and maybe lower it a little. It will clean up the look of it and make it more sporty looking especially since it's color matched like it is. Those Termi wheels look great and would look even better maybe PC a little darker silver or grey
It’s a 4.6DOH from a 2003-05 Lincoln aviator, if the year of the explorer and the Lincoln match up i say it shouldn’t be hard since the aviator is just a more luxurious explorer in other words rebadged explorer, but I’d pick up an aviator instead tho, currently have one and they are super cheap right now and worth every penny. They come in rwd and awd.
Hey Dmitry, this particular vehicle is a fully customized swap using an older OEM supercharger. We do offer a range of superchargers for late model Fords depending on what you're looking for. What type of vehicle are you trying to supercharge? Привет, Дмитрий, этот конкретный автомобиль представляет собой полностью настроенную замену с использованием более старого OEM-нагнетателя. Мы предлагаем ряд нагнетателей для последних моделей Ford в зависимости от того, что вы ищете. Какой тип автомобиля вы пытаетесь перегрузить?

The blower whine in the explorer sounds so good lol.
Joe is great btw, he did a really good job dialing in my car.

Aviator engines on their own are great. Now 10:1 compression with an eaton is just fantastic!
What engine is the aviator?

@@madmod The cams and rotating assembly for sure are different. The rest is pretty similar.

As an actual 2005 aviator owner , i can attest to it having the exact same rotating assembly, heads, cams etc as the mach 1 , marauder etc.
I wanted to do this to my 03 Mountaineer, but alas I was broke AF. So awesome to see.

Pure classic cobra wine sound loving it
What kind of exhaust did they use? Stock manifold from explorer?
Talk to me about that transfer case. Is it the Fulltime/PartTime unit from the explorer or is it the AWD one from the aviator with no low range?
Nice sleeper Joe!
That's pretty damn sweet!!
I love it! and that transmission gets it!
Wheres the link to this kit i wanna do it to mine lol.
Where is this explorer now? I’m interested to see if it’s for sale..
Wait so I have an 03 aviator
I can just install an Cobra Supercharger on it if I wanted to?
That's pretty cool
same engine as the 2000s cobras. you can do it
@@ryfipassword80lbs lighter with the same block actually, it’s better.
I want to know where you got the wheels and are they available in the 16" size ?
Please more content on this rig! Can't find anything of these aviator engined explore platforms with forced induction.
