Id rather spend less if possible. have considered 4.6 3v, 289, 302 or 351w swaps, s/c, turbo, just bolt ons. but i dunno in reality how much all that will really cost
i guess i learn something new every day, didn't know they changed 'em to a 3.9, then again i don't really keep up with anything for the 6's. the 'termi' motor or, better known as, terminator i was talking about is the 4.6 eaton blown 4valve that came in the 03 and 04 cobras. i was sorta kidding about that b/c of all the work needed to do that. but i agree with the other guys, sell your car, add in the 5k and pick up a GT or older cobra. you'll be much happier with it and you won't be waisting 5k on a motor that sucks. but it's your car and your money, i think that most everyone in this forum is gonna be on the same page though.
