It's a sad day but I've spun a bearing in my 03 Cobra. I'm awaiting word on how bad the damage is but I'm leaning towards swapping the motor entirely since it's out of the car already.
Background- Car has a newly installed 2.3 TVS with a 3.0 upper and 4lb lower. Car has the typical supporting mods to include headers. The original plan was to see about 700whp for a fun street car that is reliable. I don't road race at all and see the track about 2x a year.
I'm looking for recommendations on motor builds for my car. I've found TONS of options but given the above goals and information, who can shed some light on the topic. My tuner really likes the 5.3L Ford performance stroker motor. I've also read great things about mmr, l&m, and livernois. I'd like to be under/at $6k for the motor.
Any points for one company over the other? Any experience with customer service or issues with their motors upon arrival? Theres no time crunch as I live in the midwest and car will be away til the spring.
Any and all help is appreciated. Cheers!
