Build a motor. If you get a 94 Cobra its not that big of an upgrade performance wise. Beside the GT-40 irons and Cobra intake and some other little odds and ends, 5.0 Cobra isn't that big of an improvement. Find a roller 302 block and start building a motor on the side. A nice 347 stroker with some AFR 205's and a Victor Jr. intake should make decent power.

i wasnt thinking about getting the cobra for that much of an increase in power, what i have now is alot faster. i was thinking of getting it so i could have something newer and looks alot better IMO.

Wow the higher insurance and price tag sure are worth those brakes
