04 cobra in sn95

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 08:21 PM

Let me start off by saying I'm not a mechanic by any means but I know a little bit about the basics.

I just graduated college and I'm still driving my old high school 97 mustang v6 my parents bought me. I've been wanting something dangerous/fun and was thinking about buying me a new gt when I get a job. Although I was just wondering if I could do an easy swap with a 04 cobra motor. Do these motors come blown?

How hard is this? My cousin graduated from wyotech and he's a stang freak so he can put it in. How much would this cost cause I know I have to swap rear ends and my tranny too? I have an automatic and wanting a stick. Would this be cheaper than buying a 99-04 and swapping a cobra motor on one of those? What all would I have to replace?

Short answer? Its going to cost more to do this swap than it would to just buy a GT. Its a pain staking swap, that takes alot of time, and money to perform, even for an experienced mechanic. To do it right, you'd basically need an 03/04 donor car.. and then swap everything from the cobra over to the 97. If i were in your shoes, i'd just get a GT.. or maybe consider just buying an 03/04 cobra. Im talking from experience. Trust me, its alot more work and money than its really worth.

yea thats what I thought. I may just buy the new GT but I'd love to low 13's car but I know ya cant have much for 10k dollars and I don't want to void a nice warranty.

Are there any other options under 10k that would get me a blown car? include buying another car and I'm not wanting a Fox.

why not?

that's one of the only way's you'll get a fast supercharged car for that price

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:05 PM

Why not what? slap a cobra motor in my 97 or what?

BWAL · April 24th, 2008, 11:05 PM

i mean why don't you want a fox?

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:06 PM

Well I have never had a new car and always driving older cars so now that I can afford it I'm wanting something that feels newer. I want something I can drive around, pick up chicks and stuff like that.

They are badass but just not what I'm looking for right now.

BWAL · April 24th, 2008, 11:07 PM

gotcha

BWAL · April 24th, 2008, 11:08 PM

wait, are you saying that foxes can't pick up chicks?

lol

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:08 PM

Lol nah. Foxes pick up guys wanting to die. Exactly opposite of what i'm looking for lol

Looks like I'm fixing up a 2k gt huh.

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:09 PM

tell a chick your pushing 600 hp with a blown fox and they'll be like wtf

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:16 PM

Anyways is there any way to get a 2k gt in the low 13's under 10k?

BWAL · April 24th, 2008, 11:18 PM

lol ^

but yeah, of course you can get it in the low 13's for under 10k.

suspension
gears
slicks
centrifugal supercharger or nitrous

it'll be close to 10k, so you might be better off buying good used parts

u can do it with gears and full folt ons.......

should be under 6k if u shop around.....

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:22 PM

Kind of scared of nitrous for some reason. What kind of supercharger would you suggest? KB? Vortech? and dont you have to beef up the pistons and stuff?

ryans88gt · April 24th, 2008, 11:28 PM

The rods are the weak link in those motors. You say you can afford a newer fast car, but the truth is with 10K that is just barely going to buy you a nice used new edge. Maybe you can find a Mach1 for a decent price. Those run high 12s with very little work.

Nossit · April 24th, 2008, 11:31 PM

Yea I can afford a new GT but I'm going to be living where it snows like hell so I'm not wanting to keep my 94 explorer lol. If i go with the 10k one I can sell my mustang get it a little cheaper and might be able to buy a truck or something. I meant 10k without the price of the car btw. my bad.

ryans88gt · April 24th, 2008, 11:33 PM

So you are saying you have 10K plus enough to buy a car? So like what 15K-20K? Then definitely go with the Mach 1. You can always add a blower later if 12s aren't enough for you.
