It should be a pretty simple swap. The hardest part being the wiring harness. Does it also come with the ECU and all the intercooler plumbing, tank, and pump?gotchopsticks said:i have an 02 gt, and i might be getting a cobra engine and tranny. what would i need to do to make everything work. the engine and tranny will have all electrical, belts, etc...the whole 9 yards. will my o/r x-pipe still fit? or will i need a new one? thanks for the help.
sounds good. was it a front end collision? In that case you may have to find some of the supporting parts elsewhere.gotchopsticks said:the car is complete, but totalled. so i can get anything from the car i want or need. engine, tranny, ecu, air-box, etc... everything is there. if needed, i am willing to swap wireing harness from head lights to tail lights. thanks for the help.
Everything should bolt up ok, it's just going to be ALOT of work. It's not as simple as just pull the old out, but the new in. The hardest thing I can see is like I said before, the wiring harness. Just take your time and go slow. I hope you don't plan on doing this in a weekend. It will most likely turn into a few week project. If you take the motor and Tranny, make sure you take the driveshaft too, as it is different then the GT's. As far as the brakes, I think they should bolt right up. The Cobra and GT both use 17in. rims. You'll need to grab the rotors too. Hope this helps out! Check out www.modularfords.com , a few guys over there have done this swap.gotchopsticks said:no, it was hit from behind, then managed to flip...luckily for the driver it wasnt a vert. but what will i need to do to make everything work? will everything bolt right up? will the brakes fit without modification?
gotchopsticks said:well im going to be loosing my license for a while. im 17 and i got a 100+mph speeding ticket...so its gunna be a while, and i figure i will have plenty of spare time. so thanks for the help.
