Motor comes with T-56, computer, wiring harness and clutch. I am dead set on this going in my car. Fastest sleeper on the block....

When you hook your Cobra wiring into your gt wiring you will find out what im talking about. Your gonna have to mod your gt harness and flash your cpu. Or you need all wiring from cobra and fuel system + computer just to get this running.

Go to www.modularmadnesswest.com and talk to heath.

I said it before..and i'll say it again..that deal is just too good to be true..ESPECIALLY if it's from ebay.

I want pics when/if it arrives...

We are going to be doing one of these swaps in an 96 GT here in a month aswell. We are going to Re-use the GT's wiring harness and computer. You will have to make some new brackets for the coil packs aswell. On all of our Lightning motor swap cars with the Heat exchanger we had to fab up some brackets for it aswell. On fuel system part...it really comes down to how you want to do it. You might want to find some use 96-97 Cobra Fuel rails (Since you have to return style system)...we also have a different setup that we use with the stock system...that we can sell as a kit. Depending on how hard you want to push the car I would look at either doing an T-rex inline with an 255 hi-flow intank pump....but again if it were me...I would go a head and do an fuel system in it.......Cause if you are like me or any of my customers....LOL.... you will want 600RWHP soon anough....LOL....We also have an kit for that aswell....If you have any tech questions or need anything feel free to pm me....Good luck with the swap hope everything turns out good....keep us updated. You will end up loving it...I also most forgot too. You will have to get new thortle cable and cruise control cable aswell. Good luck...
