Sure, you can put an LS1 in it also.....
Or a v10 out of a viper...

Will it be worth it cost wise, no.
is the 98 a 4.6 or a 5.0?? if its a 5.0 ill take it for $200
98 is 4.6

Very worth it. 200 bucks for a 4v 4.6L! hell, thats definitely worth it.
y not just buy the car and fix the rear end?
+1 with AB grab it, rebuild it S/C it have fun
still alot of money/time involved making the conversion just for the engine....not even gettin into upgrading brakes/rear axle/suspension to handle the extra power.
how come a lot of people talk about droping a v8 into their 6 and after they make a thread about wut they need we never hear about it again?

Buy the time your done converting the 4.6L 4v into the v6, you could be walking all on top of one.

Before you saved the $ to s/c the 4.6L 4v you could turbo this 6 that you dumped the money into that you saved from not swapping, and walk over this stock s/c 4v :)

However, the 4.6L 4v will have a slightly better exhaust note while its behind you.:p

1. we convince them its not worth it

2 they dont have the money

3. they buy a gt

Because people love to ask questions even if they know they can't/won't/will never make one move. :)
the cobra engine of that year isn't crazy powerful... it has 305 hp @ crank lol (same as new gt's).
the rear, suspension, etc. should handle that until he does some performance upgrades.
u would figure they would know its not worth it from the other 300 threads about this lol

Nobody uses the SEARCH feature.
good point
sixers can be amazingly fast... just v8's can be amazingly fast-er:p

but the 98 cobra engine is a hand built monster of a block it would be my ford v8 engine of choice other than a 428
