4.6 cobra or 5.0 w/ tranny
 

Hey guys i just bought a 86 notch back w/ the 4 cyl. ( i know but it was only 600) and i was wonderin if anyone knew how much a 4.6 cobra motor or a 5.0 motor would be to put it and probley a t-5 tranny?? lmk thanks guys- Seth

If you want to do a V8 swap and money is a big issue go with the 5.0L. The 4.6 is a kickass swap but it is considerably more money to do. I'm talking from experience! The 4.6 is awsome and I wouldn't change a thing but it was more money than a 5.0 swap and very time consuming, but well woth it in the end!

have fun finding a cobra 4.6....this guys got a nice motor and tranny up for sale

thanks both u guys, ill get u both sum rep. points tommorow im on the limit todaylol

For a 4.6 swap you need a AJE k-member and the t-5 bellhousing wont bolt up to the 4.6 so you have to get one made or I think someone makes one but can't think of the name. Swap ECU's or go carb. They have carbs for 4.6's but their pricey since they're fairly new on the market. But it would be a badass swap. -Mark

i've always been partial to carb'ed 5.0's myself.

look for a wrecked 4.6 car for ALL the parts you need.

+1 on the recked 4.6 and +1 on the 4.6 swap like JDL1000 said. He has a bad ass car that you need to see to appreciate....

ive looked alday yesterday at junk yards for 5.0's or 4.6s i found one w/ super charged but they wont like 8000 for hte whole car and the boxy sux and they dont know if the motor ever runs, but ill see wat i can find thanks guys

dont forget about the 32v markVIII AND it's automatic ;) those don't bring a lot of money at the sale.
