will an 03/04 Cobra engine and tranny fit in the Fox body? They are all the same platform, so I imagine it would fit easily. I have a line on a drivetrain and I would like to see it in Fox.

yes they fit with modifications, try doing a search on here, corral, and maybe google. I know www.mustangweekly.com had a feature car with that combo in it.
 

Look Its Aaron

Your car looks like it came straight from Mexico.

If it'll fit in a Focus, it'll fit in a Fox. I can't imagine how badass it would be to have that setup in my coupe


MMFF put that Lightning motor in their coupe....it's in the 10s right now, all motor, but it's so nose heavy that 2 guys can pick up the back of the car a foot off the ground.

Yeah, I was wondering how weight would factor into all of this?

My guess would be at least a 3-4 inch cowl unless you get a K member with engine drop. The MMFF coupe with the Lightning motor has a 5 inch cowl and they had to cut holes into it for the intake tubing and the top of the supercharger to peak through. That motor is a 5.4 though, and it's a tad bit taller than a 4.6, but with the supercharger i'd say you'll still need a good sized cowl.
