I'll be real, I love this car more than any other I've ever had. More than my 08 GT500, my Lightning, or my fox. But even I recognize the limits and reality of the car. The design itself is getting well up there in terms of age. The basic body design is from 99, the interior is from 94. But we all know what made the Terminator so special is all in the drivetrain. But we have to be honest, the Coyote is the better engine in terms of performance capability. Would swapping to a built 5.0 really be blasphemous? If it is, then you'd have to say that any auto or SRA is as well. I'm not a true purist otherwise I would have left mine completely factory stock. If I ever find myself in the situation i meantioned I would give serious thought to going 5.0, 6R80, and TT.

Yeah you are right. The are still very similar engines, just one has more technology. I cant imagine what a pain it would be to swap the harnesses and stuff. But if it ever comes to it I would definitely think about it.
Not having the gauge cluster would trigger me...
I wonder what the OP's goal is...
To me a Cobra really needs a supercharger and a 4.6l to stay true to its roots.
If you had a Boss 429 Mustang would you yank the original Boss 429 out for a small block Ford/Mod motor that had twice the power? No.
I realize that the Terminator will never be up there with the Boss 429 cars because the production numbers are so vastly different but to me its changing what made the car special. To me what makes a Terminator special is a positive displacement supercharger on a 4.6l based motor.

I'd have a hard time putting a coyote in a terminator....
I do want to do a coyote swapped fox eventually.

Of course it would have to be a PD blower coyote.
Have I ever mentioned how raw the feel? lol
I agree with CJ428mach.

Easy coyote 6r80 or a glide if you really wanna go fast.
I personally don't buy into all the "you gotta keep a blower and a 4.6 in it to be a cobra" hype. I understand why some do but unless you're going to keep the car bone stock and leave it in a bubble in the garage who cares? I won't keep any of my cars long enough to be collectors.

I agree. At that point, if you need a new engine, get a better one.
I don't think gimmie11's realizes how raw things can get in the terminator section when he comes in here to cut down the rawest car ever imagined.
If I had the funds and ability I would absolutely do a coyote/turbo swap. Stepping away from the stock platform is hard to do because it's so fun/idiot proof and the 4.6 4 valve when set up for boost will live a looong time, it's stupid strong.
what's the difference between a 4.6 dohc and a coyote really? same basic platform, .4l of displacement, and vvt. the coyote is still a mod motor.
if i take my engine out and put a 5.0 stroker kit in it, is it still a terminator? yes.
if i build a teksid 5.0 up with good parts, dohc, and a blower, is it still a terminator? yes.
if i start with a coyote, put good parts in it, lock out the vvt so it'll run with the same ecm and slap a blower on it, is it still a terminator? yes.
as far as i'm concerned, if it's a blown mod motor there's no real difference.
also, a blown coyote with the vvt locked out would be at least as raw as a blown 4.6.
the thing that made these cars iconic was that they finally allowed us mustang guys to whoop the shit out of the LS crowd. that mystique doesn't go away just because you change displacement.

It's honestly a great engine.
Let's just do an LS swap and put this thread to rest! Lol!

GTFO with this LS shit.
a twin turbo/SRA/auto voodoo would be more terminator than that faggotry
