Default Just picked up a 98 Cobra!

Hey guys!

I just bought a 98 Cobra! Most of you don't know me (been gone for a while). I have owned several Mustangs and still do, but this is my first DOHC. I am very happy with the find, a blk/blk with 29K miles on it.

Alll Virgin, not even the air silencer taken off. Has org tires.

Anyways, I will need some advise, as I 'm not real familiar yet with the DOHC. And I need to get all the main items done. Since it didn't come with an owners manual, is there any good place to find all the info I need? Such as oil capacity/weight, plug gaps, etc etc?

Plus, I already have several mods I want to do in the upcoming weeks. The shifter and cold air go on this weekend. Cat Back next weekend. Springs, shocks, control arms the weekend after that.

During my tune up this weekend, is there any things I should pay close attention too on this engine. Didn't I read somewhere that this engine takes something like 0W20? I pretty much know the basics, but every engine has it's little quirks. Any info to help get me up to speed would be appreciated.

I be around a lot now! I will post some pics this weekend of the car.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Congrats man. I'd imagine a fellow snake owner of the same year will fill you in on the capacities and whatnot. Glad to hear its such a lovely color combo! I'm getting tired of silver everything!
