v6 to cobra swap? HOW?

Catfiesh · November 7th, 2009, 12:37 PM

Unless you have the knowalge and/or funds to do such an extensive swap, I woulndt bother.. keep that car and buy a cobra. It will be cheaper in the end by far. Ill guess by this post you dont have alot of experience with engine swaps, a 3.8 ro DOHC 4.6 is probably not the best way to start out. Remember just about everything on your 6er will need to be modifed or beefed up for a cobra motor.

Copart used to be dealer only when i used them. Is it open to the public now for sure?

I wouldnt recommend it, but how much do you have to spend? If your rich, f*ck it, its your money.

dansgt · November 7th, 2009, 04:10 PM

by a lincoln mark VIII and swap over the engine, then get a used gt rear end from a junk yard, that'll be your cheapest route.

You cant bid on everything though can you? only public ones. Copart auction goes retarded high price on everything! i have dealers license so i can bid on whatever but it still goes to high.

flatlinerford · November 7th, 2009, 05:40 PM

yea u bid only on ones open to public still loads of cars on there.. i bid on an 06 gt 5spd that got tboned on driver side for $200 lol

I love your V6, but maybe it's time to move on. Great thing about buying a Teksid N/A Cobra is you can start all over and make it yours.

Not that great actually. My Termi insurance was $20 cheaper each month than my GT, and my GT insurance was cheaper than my v6 insurance by almost $100 each month. Also you get caught with insurance fraud that little bit you think you would "save" is gonna cost you a whole fucking lot more.

i did a v6 to cobra swap recently on my sn95. cost me around 1000 to do it the right way and to factory specs. Just go to copart.com and get a crashed cobra and swap it all out. i have a complete build forum on my swap. the most popular build on the 4v/svt page. check it out and let me know if u have any questions, if u do just post a reply of email me at bsballsbstevr18@gmail.com
