cluster?
fuse boxes
fuel pump? they differrent

p/s will all the wiring harrness work except for the motor harrness.
im confused i think i got to change all of them out. are the clusters in both cars plug in the same plugs? if not then will have to change dash harrness too.

i have looked into this swap also, you need the wiring harness. but all that should be involved if i rember correctly from when i asked, get the old engine out, put the new harness in, bolt everything up and drop the new cobra engine in. heard its really easy, and not complicated. and i think the only harness you have to change is the engine one.

if i'm not mistaken you can use your gt computer, and it would be better to do that. because our keys have a special chip in them and that chip is for the computer in you car. or thats what i heard, and for the instrument cluster you can use your gt one also, but i personaly think the cobra look better and hear that its also pretty easy to change thous out. but with alittle more looking besides jsut changing the harness to put the cobra motor in its just like puting a new gt motor in.

thanks man i got the whole car.. so im going to use the 97 cobra fuel tank/pump .cause i think they may have diff, flow rate
wanted the use the cobra computer and the keys from it ..it would start then right ?


is the key code programmed in the computer or cluster or both?

you think 2g is cheap for labor for the swap . this is a good friend of mine thats incl labor for r/r puting good interanls in it/

i got the rear end out of it for striping the car down for him. about 600 bucks i think there worth.

i got parts for sale also.pm me if anyone needing something
