Hey Guys, my question of the day is can an 03 cobra engine be made to fit into the 96-98, and if so is it to much trouble.

correct me if im wrong but i think the blocks are just about the same so i think it will go right in physicaly.
the hard part would come about with the hookups and wires and all that fun stuff. then you have to try not to break anything in your drivetrain.

some one in here has got to know all the details

Without a donor car its gonna be a real pain in the butt.

But if you have a donor, the swap is pretty straightforward for a good mechanic.
