[QUOTE="Kline12, post: 15525460, member: 149426"] I would also vote just building the bottom end of the 2v and going turbo if your goal is only 500whp. I did a complete 03/04 cobra swap on my 99 gt, and it was very labor intensive and much more expensive than it would have been for me to just build a 2v. The only reason I went with the terminator drive train is for my long term power goals. Eventually I want this car to see 1000+whp, and that is easier to achieve with the 4v from a cobra. Plus, I didn't have a budget at the time. Swaps nickle and dime you to death. Just when you think you've got everything you need, you're spending another $2k on something unexpected. It can be tough. A coyote swap will be even more difficult than a cobra swap. You are having to adapt the drive-train to your older vehicle. And what I mean by that is, all of the wiring, computers, drive line, etc. will have to be changed. Not to mention, a used 5.0 with a transmission is fetching around $8k+ depending where you buy from. Not including all of the wiring, computers, fuel system components, drive-line things and stuff needed to make it work. And if you don't do the work yourself, the labor bill will be pretty hefty. Now if money isn't an issue, and you have high power goals in the future, than a coyote swap would absolutely be the way to go. You will have a much easier time making big power with the 5.0. I am currently sitting at just over $12k for the drive train, and everything that was needed to make to make it work. I didn't have a parts car to pull everything form, so buying everything needed individually gets expensive FAST. There isn't a single thing left in the car that was from the factory as a gt. The car is at a performance shop being built to handle said power mentioned above, and the parts and labor bill for all of that has come out to just about $11k. That being said, all in all I am sitting at $23K in the drive train of this car. Not a single corner was cut in this process though. If you are going to do it, do it right! [/QUOTE]
