I have been searching for engines for a littlw while now. I have looked at multiple places and called a couple. I was wondering if anyone has heard of
"Miles Eastside Auto"? I got a quote from them and this is what they said:

99 COBRA 4.6L 4V QUOTED

Year, Make, Model: 99 Ford Mustang
Engine Size: 4.6
TBI, EFI, Carb: EFI
Automatic or Standard Transmission: Standard
2 Wheel Drive or 4 Wheel Drive: 2 Wheel Drive
Overdrive Yes/No: No



The price is $2895.00

Core charge $1050.00

They say that the engine will take 1-4 days to get to wherever. Also they have free shipping on all their units. The price seems too good to be true.
Also, I am pretty sure that this engine would fit straight into my car, just want to verify?? Thanks in advance!!!

it should right in. you might need a new computer. but the cobra and gt had the same k-member and mounts so it will fit right in. im not sure how much weight you will save off the front end. the aluminum blocks are about 90lbs vs the 195 for iron blocks, but the DOHC heads are heavier, dont know the weight offhand.

Nevermind on that quote....whoever at that place quoted me the wrong price. I just got off the phone with them and they say "$3110 for the engine and then $2,500 for the core charge". So out of my pocket, we are looking at $5,600 for a comlete Cobra engine. I don't know about that!!

a core charge is the money you get back for giving them your old parts. like with a starter for example, it may cost $50 + a $25 core charge. so you pay $75 upfront, but when you give them your old starter, they will give you $25 back. they then take your old starter, and rebuild it, and sell it as a remanufactured part.
