I recently blew out my motor on a 2000 GT. The estimate to fix the car came out to a good 4k at the dealer but id rather just swap the motor if i was going to pay that much. I was wondering if any one here has done a cobra motor swap for the gt or heard of any one doing it. Also is there a lot of work to be done to install a cobra motor into a GT??

I would take the same route if it is possible.

I spent $5300 getting my mach 1 motor put in - but that included a custom dyno tune.

I'd go with a mach1 motor before a cobra motor(unless it's an 03 corba, of course). The mach motor is alot stronger.

thanx for the advice.. i was considering the mach 1 engine also but couldnt find one for a good price. Do you guys have any other recomendations and the estimate of how much it will cost to swap the motor and get all the work done??
