Need some info on 5.0s

V8ornothing · January 15th, 2012, 12:31 AM

Ok so currently I have a 97 cobra(24k miles) with the mods in my signature so not far from stock and some guy wants to do a trade with me for his 95(74k miles) with trickflow heads, trickflow intake, trickflow cams, longtube headers, 73mm throttle body and maf, o/r x pipe with flowmaster mufflers and jlt cai with a tuner. With those parts what kind of power would it make comparably to what my car is making basically stock? Would this be a good trade with money on his end?

So what you're saying is that it would be a good trade? None of the parts are installed but with the money on top I could drop it off at a shop and tell them to start putting them on.

B's04gt · January 15th, 2012, 12:50 AM

Why I wouldn't.

1.) Trading for a car with more miles and older
2.) You know more about your car, how it runs, etc.

Ask yourself, why would he want to trade his car for yours?

F8L GT · January 15th, 2012, 12:52 AM

its totally a decision you would have to make youself...

Less miles, cobra, 4v, stock makes more power, none of his parts are installed?

I noticed the parts wern't installed after I posted, thats why I edited my original post.

So, in reality.. You would be trading for an older car with more miles just for the parts

Because it'd be faster

B's04gt · January 15th, 2012, 12:59 AM

I wouldn't.. thats just me though I guess.. Save up and make your car faster while having less miles and more than likely less problems.

Idk I'm thinking about getting rid of mine in general but somehow trying to stay a mustang ownership but get money on top and not downgrade too much.

this thing has just turned into a money pit and I need money for college next year and I want a crotch rocket as a commuter and that requires money.

Then go for it man.. Hope it all works out

The short answer is no. Here are the reasons why:

1. Your car is newer and has 50k less miles on it.
2. You know your car.
3. Your Cobra engine has the superstrong Teksid block and excellent 4v heads.
4. Your engine will respond very well to long tube headers, though they're a huge PITA to install.
5. His parts aren't installed yet. Factor in the installation costs, tuning, and troubleshooting and it'll cost a pretty penny.
6. You don't know what other hidden problems his car has.

+1

And to the OP, if you make the trade, ill make sure to keep in touch with you, cuz i have a bunch of junk im sure youll buy or trade me...... oh i know, i have an old, but still working 2g alternator, that ill trade you for your 3g or 6g alternator..

99FiveOh · January 24th, 2012, 11:34 AM

to the op, keep your car. If you are wanting to get rid of it, sell it and buy a low mile 94/95 Cobra and you should still have a little bit of cash in your pocket.

I want to know who both of them are!

Let's have it...

ReverendDexter · January 24th, 2012, 11:38 AM

Straight up, that's a retarded trade for you to make.

91cobra5.0 · January 25th, 2012, 09:22 PM

hold on, so how many miles are on your cobra? how do you go from 199xxx miles in december to having 24k miles now? im pretty sure that the guage rolls that far back??

if you have a mint 24k mile cobra dont trade it but if you have a worn in 224k mile cobra..... TRADE IT.

swapping in a h/c/i will get you going faster that that cobra. especially if he is gona give you enough cash on top to have it all installed
