You might have to change the wiring haness, and I think the bell housing, but it should work. Go 5.0!!:thumbsup:

Consider the FRPP 5.0 DOHC modular engine. Just like the Cobra, but with more displacement (=more torque). Use a Cobra computer.

four cam if money permits... otherwise a nice aluminum headed 331 would be sweet.

dude.....just buy a cheapo 306 short block.....5.0 baby! You can get a good strong 306 short block for like 1800 and then just do some wiring and ECM calibration and your set. And more displacement than a 4.6= more torque and more potential.

i can get an 01 cobra crate motor with no accessories for $2500, but i could prolly find a 306 that is built up with more hp/torque for around that much rite? and how hard would it be to make it work in a 96 gt with the computer/ecu ect? and what would the pros & cons be off both cuz of rite now i think the 306 is lookin to be the best way to go or maybe 331 with a TT set up lol ok im done dreaming
