I was searching for 03 cobra engines online and carcraft has what they claim to be a "03 Cobra S/C Longblock" without the supercharger. It sounds like it is all forged like the 03, but would it perform like an 03?

Here's the link:

Sounds like to me that its a reman motor like a majority of fords motors that you can get from your dealership. Companies like jasper and fred jones make them. It does not sound like it was a niche-line hand built motor. Im sure its a pretty strong motor with the same internals but I guarantee it did not receive the same attention to detail during assembly like a OEM production 03-04 cobra engine did.

I dug a little deeper into that site and came across this...
http://www.karkraft.com/engines.htm
At the bottom of that page it shows what they call their karkraft niche hand assembly line... ... hmm. Would it be better to just try and find a true 03 cobra engine for that price?
