03 cobra engine

[Cobra80]

I am looking at buying a 2003 cobra engine that has been rebuilt for my 2004 cobra. I want to make sure I get the correct stuff, what things should I be looking for?

rebuilt to what spec? stock or have the pistons been upgraded? has it been bored? have the rods been changed?

Here are the pics

it does have a striped bolt hole for the intake bolt on the head, how hard will that be to fix?

 

[Cobra80]

does it look good?

Looks good, but why do you need a new one? what happened to yours?

Very easy to fix that with a Heli-Coil.

I have a leak down/low compression in my #6 cyl its not mising yet, but its eventualy going to need to be fixed. Figure I might as well upgrade while I am at it

looks good, id go for it. Helicoiling that hole will take 3min.

its got forged pistons which is nice since they wont expand like the stockers during long duration pulls at lean a/f tunes.

Will you be using the heads off your 04? The early 03 heads had the "tick" issue, but this was addressed by Ford midway through the production run...

 

[Cobra80]

The heads are from a 2006 crate engine

Send me a pm if you end up buying it and give me a list of the parts you will be selling and the prices for each.

That motor should serve you well. As mentioned getting that stripped hole fixed is no big deal. Intake bolts are not Torqued to much anyway so a heli coil will do the job great.

look for 8 cylinders, 4 cams, and 32 valves thats a good place to start.
