[QUOTE="scottydsntknow, post: 16364279, member: 79824"] 1 - 97 and 98 have the same beehive springs as the Cobra heads and the same F6 revision heads. Get a motor out of a 97 or 98. Or C swap it with an Aviator engine... 2 - Yes, easy I have one out of a Continental in my GT (bellhousing adapter) and I shift it at 7k+ routinely 3 - Less power potential. If you are never going to go much past 400whp then just toss a JY engine in there and roll. Only advice is find the lowest mileage motor you can and get it from a good yard, one that takes videos of the engine running if possible with the odometer from the car in the video. Mine did. The swap you are proposing is a 100% straight swap. Swap your intake and accessories and that's it. Even the front covers are the same on the 97/98 IIRC. Maybe delete the IMRCs and have the tuned out, up to you. Done differently... well if I were you I'd be looking at 03-05 Aviator engines. Sell off your 96-98 Cobra stuff and pick up 99/01/Mach stuff at hopefully cost neutral and then drop it in. Looking at more like $1500+ to get an Aviator but you get the Terminator heads and if you get an 05 you get the BEST heads and the Aluminator block. The ONLY reason I didn't do this is because I found a bellhousing adapter for a 99-02 Conti engine for $75 on the Corral and there was a 52k original mile 99 Conti engine in a yard 5 minutes away that came out of a car junked from an estate sale. Oil in the thing was still golden, I have never seen a JY engine as clean as this one. [/QUOTE]
