[AA02gt]

this might be a stupid question but what all does it take to swap my stock 02 gt engine with a cobra engine?? i dont think there wouuld be a problem with the 1999-2002 cobra engines but would i be able to get the supercharged 03 or 04 engine in my gt??? i thought i heard somewere that the 03 and 04 cobra has a 6 speed and not a 5 speed would that be a problem??? or is that not true? thanks for the help

You can put any trans behind the 03/04 cobra engine. You could even put an automatic with some parts exhanging. (I think you need a Mach 1 crank and flexplate)

I don't know if the 03/04 cobra engine will fit under a GT hood, so you might need a new hood. Maybe not though

Thats a nice link. Only thing i would say to the OP is that you won't be able to get an 03/04 cobra motor for as cheap as the other 4v motors.

I've been thinking about doing this swap perhaps down the line, what I would suggest is finding a dohc long block if possible, or atleast a short block from a non 03/04 Cobra. Then build on that block, uprgrade to forged internals, upgrade the heads intake if you have the cash, then slap a blower or nitrous on top of it. Your 3650 tranny will work with this combo, but may need to uprgrade your clutch and possibly some other small parts. If money is an issue you should just have a built 4V in N/A form, and then when the money allows it go further with a blower or nitrous. I'm not exactly sure why the swap isn't done more often than I see.

However, you may want to stop and consider what your goals are for the car. How much power you want, budget etc. A 4V would be nice, however the 2V has been proven to make alot of big numbers itself. Depending on your budget and desires you may want to look into the differences between a 2V build up and the 4V swap.
