I know its possible for you to turn a Terminator automatic. But Can u just go down to a local shop and let them do it for you if you bring the parts? Or would you have to do this yourself thanks. Anser asap thanks alot

Both. And I'm pretty sure a shop won't let you bring the parts. That's, for the most part, how the business makes money.

So they have the parts there and how much would it cost? estimated? My dad's best friend work's in a shop and is a genius with cars so i could probably get a discount.

it would likely need to be a performance shop that has a good deal of Mustang background, your everyday joe-schmo repair shop wont know where to start, and if you do hand them the keys, dont expect the car back anytime soon.

a full built auto would be beneficial for a drag application only IMO, where you want consistency each run. but like others have said, if you are going to do that, why start with a Cobra? Get a GT for cheap, build the motor+auto trans and boost from there, youll have to do exactly that with the 03/04 starting point, and you will have spent another $10k for the car itself compared to the GT, and the end result would be very similar.

you get the Cobra to have a quick car...then after a twinscrew and all the other goodies that make the car into a tire shredding, fire breather that you are sick of replacing the clutch in you learn that if you wanna go fast at the local dragstrip a stalled auto is the way to go
