well, since no one wants to buy my car, i was juts wondering, what would you need to do a engine swap from v6 to v8 and how much a gt - cobra crate engine will run. just a general break down of what needs to be done.

 

It will cost ya quite a bit of $$$ to pick up a new crate engine, your best off just keeping your eyes peeled for a used mod motor, and if all else fails, spray that v6!

 

2003 Cobra motor complete from FOrd - 16k

 

everyone forgot to mention the obivious...crate 302 and a carb...could be done for fairly cheap..4k to 5k...with tranny..and all accessories

 

I knew that, but it should have a mod motor in it. Wouldn't be right to have pushrod power under a roush mustang hood would it?

 

actually all i want is either a gt engine or cobra engine ( without the supercharger , base engine like mach1 ) and a tranny, wouldnt that be all that i need to change?

 

Well its going to be A LOT of work!!! Im fixing to do the samething w/ my v6. Ill tell ya, trying to make a v6 mustang fast is like trying to make a 4dr honda fast (i cant believe i just used the words honda and fast in the same sentence ). So its basically an oxy-moron.
It took me about 2yrs to get the motor/tranny/wiring for my swap and I still have parts to get. Take your time and spend the money where it needs to go. Youll be happier in the long run I promise.

 

hehe, if the car was taken off my hands i could, but money is still owed on it so i cant get rid of it unless someone bought it for what the payoff is which is 16.5k
