Hello,

My friend is selling me a '98 Cobra motor with the computer and wiring harness for $2,500 it has around 100k miles on it.....is this a good deal?? Would you suggest putting in a 98 Motor in a 2000 or does it matter?? Any suggestion/comments are very helpful

www.cobrapoweredgt.com I was looking to do the same swap into my 98. The only thing about this is that they show a way to "rig" the stock computer for the DOHC motor. since you have the comp...that might make it a little easier

Good swap idea .... bad price though even for 45K mi

$2.5K is still kinda high.

Come down a grand or so. Unless he's able to help with the swap.

There is a law that requires that any engine swap for a vehicle, the engine has to be newer or as the same year of the car otherwise it will not pass smog.
