it would probably be cheaper to get a whole engine/transmission out of a wrecked cobra.

well to put it into perspective... i bought my shortblock for 2600. re-using the PI heads but having them gone through, new cams, valvesprings, gaskets, etc etc i'm over 6k into my new motor.. thats reusing everything from the intake, valve covers, timing cover, blah blah blah.. you are going to need 4v heads, cams, chains, tensioners, timing cover, gaskets, intake, brackets, coils, headers, wiring harness, tune, throttle cables, throttle body, power adder... dude the list keeps going and going. and thats not counting the transmission. to do a 4v swap, the easiest and cheapest way to do it is to buy a complete motor out of an 04 cobra that already has everything complete with the blower and transmission.. 6k is a steal for what you're getting out of it.

true, but it still doesn't have a transmission or a blower.

that is true.. but a cobra motor is pretty damn indestructable.. even with 100k on them they still run strong. only thing it would need is a set of rings and maybe bearings.. theres not much else that would go wrong. tranny could probably use a flush and an oil change.. those too are strong. just buy an engine out of a STOCK cobra and that way theres a much less chance it was beat up
