A little birdi in a tree told me that Cobra heads (don't know what year) can fit and improve power wise onto a 99+ GT. Can anyone verify this claim or should I grab my BB Gun and shoot him?

it involves more than just slapping on the heads.

Intake, ECU, headers, wiring harness, etc. All will be needed

Worth it? Haven't heard this so I would guess not, right?

If you do a search, you could find a lot of info. There have been a few threads on this.

There is a huge compression drop doing this. I think it brings it down to 8.0-8.5. I'm not sure you'd need a new ECU. Many people swap in 4v motors and use their GT computers -just need a custom chip. Cost Vs. performance wise I don't think it's probably worth it. You would probably be happier with porting your heads, cams, and some juice.

This has been talked about many times. Can you do it? Yes. Is it worth it? No. You're much better off just swapping the entire Cobra engine
