I now have the funds to do an engine swap that I have been wanting to do for a while now. I want to take the 4.6 GT engine out and replace it with a full Cobra engine. It will be a twin turbo set up, and I know what I need to get the internals done. I do not know what else I will need to do to get the engine in there. I am assuming that I definately need to change out the computer and wire harnesses. Is this all I will need to do? is there anything else.

Depending on the TT set up, you might need a tubular K member. On some set ups you must use tubular A arms, and coil overs too. Not sure what Cobra engine you're wanting to use but Hellion has a TT set up for the 03-04 Cobra that includes the K member and coil overs.

I was thinking on going with the HP turbo set up. they have the k member and a arms with coil overs included with their set up. Has anyone heard anything good from this company? again can anyone think of anything else besides the computer and wiring harnesses?

You'll probably want to get a Cobra tank and fuel pumps.
