Did the tank line right up or was there fabrication to make it work? details please....

The tank lined up but I had to modify the filler neck to fit my car. The filler neck on the Cobra tank is longer than the neck for my fox by about 4 inches. I even used the stock Cobra fuel lines. They lined up in the fox great.

You should do the swap you won't be sorry!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This car is so much fun to drive. Where else can you get a 600+ rwhp fox you could drive 2500 miles with no worries and decent gas mileage. :-D

Yeah i would love too... But 9 months ago i just dished out 4500 on the turbo kit so to dish out a min of 12 for a doner car( more for a whipple) is something i really have to think about. and thats not all i am gonna have to spend either... :shrug:
We'll see next year.

Thats deff. one of the sweetest foxes I have ever seen. I've been wanting to do a 03/04 cobra swap in a 4 banger coupe for a number of years now. My buddy did one in his 89 coupe using a vortech'ed and aftercooled 96 built cobra motor. If mine didn't already have a built and boosted motor, I would do it to it. Excellent job and nice attention to detail, its of the best/cleanest mod conversions I've ever seen.
PM me if you ever sell it.
