Hey guys,
So I bought an 01 cobra about a month back now and it had a nasty knock which I was aware of before looking at the car. From what I heard and what Ive read online Im assuming its a thrown journal bearing. Im in the middle of pulling the motor, but once that happens Im not sure what I am going to do. I plan on throwing in the same motor, whether it be the exact 4.6 32v remachined or if I should try to find a new 4.6l short block and re use the heads. Also if I should just get another short block where is a reputable place that I can get one. Ive looked in a couple of places like Coast performance but I have heard mixed reviews. I want to do this right the first time and not have something put in thats just going to grenade in a year. Thanks for your help!
