HI EVERYONE! I just purchased a 1998 Mustang Cobra. I have some questions and thought this would be the best place to ask them! I appreciate all info! First about the car. The car had a blown motor. The previous owner purchased a 01 cobra motor that came with the car. Just needs to be installed. My Questions are - Is this motor ( 01 ) compatible with the 98 Car. Is there anything I will need to change? I did some quick research is the ignition coil system the same on the 98 to 01? Also, what are some options for performance upgrades?! Thanks for the help!!!

The ignition coil setup is different for the motors. The 98 motor had dual coil packs and plug wires and the newer motor you have has coil on plug. There used to be a guy on here named “The Red Monster” who made a conversion harness.

Good luck and congrats on the car.

Is the original engine still in the car? Is the factory engine bay harness still in the car?
