Well I just went and picked up the latest addition to the fleet
An 03 Marauder I named Dyshyky (Dye-Shee'-Key)

Bone stock all original and will stay exactly as such

Got a 20k mile all original 03/04 cobra setup complete with blower and all from my friend Chris the owner of the old 49 Performance / Speed Productions out in Jackson / Florence Mississippi.

Will be detuned for 87 octane still but should be a nice little bump in output. Should be around 16psi on stock eaton ~300rwhp or so. About 100 rwhp more than now on 87.

Plan on swapping it in as soon as time allows.

Hows the marauder working out so far? Ive really thought about parting ways with my mach 1 and getting a marauder. That or an auto Mach 1. Yeah i know im weird for wanting an auto mach over my manual mach.

I started a new job back in 2020. I've driven the marauder maybe twice since then. She's sitting in my backyard right now. I moved her around the other day. No time to tinker. Hopefully in a few years I'll get some free time to swap the engine out.

Vehicle Information: 1997 Mountaineer 5.0 that originally had a wasted spark ignition system. I've converted to coil-near-plug. I am using a 4.6 Luxury Sedan PCM with 8 coil drivers & a modified powertrain harness. Light reprogramming was required to adjust to the changes and operate the Windsor 5.0.

I didn't realize "Dyshyky" was down. Upgrading the engine?

i love Marauders.. one of my dream projects for a long time has been a 6 speed swapped Marauder with boost, probably a single turbo. too bad they didn't quite slip under the radar as far as collector car prices go, which it looked like they might for a while there, lol... still a relative bargain though, whether as a bone stock driver or something a lot more radical. the one that Cleetus McFarland raffled off REALLY blew my skirt up, even though it was autotragic ❤️

3 weeks ago vandals broke in and stole my 20k mile steig 3 ported blower along with the lower fresh from sand blasting ready for powder coating

so now its just going to stay stock

its crazy i posted last in nov of 23. I've literally had 14 days off the entire 2024 and worked 90+ days straight twice in 2025.

im about 6 years out on other projects so its going to sit for the foreseeable future. 2032/2033 check back

Dang, crazy to hear about that blower getting stolen! Welp, I’ll try to keep an eye out in market place just incase we see some super cheap blowers for sale.

And wow! 90+ days straight? Sounds like you’ve managed to find your self in an industry where “up time” matters a lot, and any downtime sounds really expensive. That, or you’re the person that comes in when no one else can get things figured out to get going. **Sprinkled with a little bit of thirst for accomplishment.**
