also if anyone knows where to find a wrecked one.

Have you contacted Ford yet?

 

[ugotbit03]

look on ebay for a complete engine

 

[stvdman]

Maybe cheaper to just buy a nice 03? I have seen them go for 22-23K with some miles on them. From what I understand you are looking at $8000+ for a complete 03/04 Cobra motor, add that to a 12-14K car and your back to a used 03.

no,they would prolly be too expensive.

yeah,but itll be like a sleeper.everyone sees no wing no grill so they dont mess with u guys,but with a 99-01 then they don suspect much.

 

[knowfreed0m]

Buy a '03 and put on a '01 front and rear bumber?

this whole swap will be expensive, good advice by stvdman, just look for the deal on an 03/04

sleeper is like a oxymoron in any cobra no matter what year...

That engine looks like crap !!! It looks like to me that the car may have been submerged in water at one point in time. Look at the pic with the drivers side head facing you, it looks like it has Mold growing on it !! Not sure I'd buy that engine unless I went and inspected it myself.

In addition, add in the cost of the labor for the swap, and sorting out all the electronics. It will be an expensive PITA.

not easy to find:

This is a good company, been in business for years. they were the "fancy" engine supplier for Ford for the 1st generation Mustangs.

you can get a 4V 4.6 from them that will run on it's own system and has a carb.

Have a professional engine builder rebuild the motor that would be in the car you bought and then buy a KB, Vortech, or whatever and put that on.
