I haven't posted much here, but I have a question that I hope some of you more knowledgable Cobra owners can help me with.
What problems would I encounter trying to install the 03 Cobra engine into a 96 Cobra?
I found a place that is selling 03 Cobra engines for 12K still in the crate from Ford, complete with accessories and wiring harness. That price combined with what I paid for the 96 would be slightly more than 20K. I rather go that route instead of going in the hole 38K for a new Cobra.
Some of the things I've considered are:
Will my stock 96 Hood fit?
Will the 03 engine wiring harness interface with the 96 Chasis?
Are the engine mounts and K-frame mounting locations the same?
Will anything in the engine compartment have to be relocated?
Will the T-45 transmission bellhousing bolt the 03 engine block?
I intend to use my T45 transmission. Its in very good shape.
I know I will need to get an 03 Cobra engine computer. I can't thing of anything else. Did I overlook anything?
Thanks in advance for any input,
