2001 Cobra engine swap: I've acquired a 2001 Cobra with a blown engine. I don't have the $3k for even the least expensive used replacement I've located. A used 4.6L SOHC out of a GT is 1/3 the cost. How difficult a project is it to replace the DOHC with a SOHC? Thanks!!!
This seems short sighted to me. There are tons of Cobra specific parts that will loose their value once no longer in a Cobra. The car itself will lose it's value once the installed motor does not match the VIN code.
If you are looking for a motor swap project it seems wiser to me to buy a different Mustang GT and put a salvage yard SOHC in.
Or fix the Cobra and sell it. Use the $$ to buy a cheaper GT.
