#2 is the wiring going to be like totally totally different ?
#3 is the quad cam aluminum block ? ( I know the new cobra is iron ).
1. Griggs Racing and AJE both make K-member just for the swap with the proper motor mounts, so it will bolt right in.
2. You can use the stock Cobra computer for the swap or use an aftermarket stand alone like a FAST, SDS, AEM etc etc etc. Using the stock computer is going to involve some cutting and pasting, but it can be done. Biggest problem is getting rid of the Passive Anti Theft System(PATS) from the stock computer. But it can be deleted with an aftermarket chip.
3. 96-01 Cobras came with aluminum blocks and so did the 03 Mach1/Aviator.Marauder. The older Lincoln Mark VIII's also came with aluminum blocks.
As far as the tranny, if you're looking for a 6 speed, just get one out of an 03 Cobra, bolts right up. If you're going to go blown, for the love of God stay away from Pro Charger.
