The motor and whatever you need to buy to make the swap, will be much more than what you would get for your motor. But who cares, how many people do you know who have an 04 cobra motor in their sn95? I would buy it.

It'll rock 4 shur but you'll need all the engine managment electrics AND the entire returnless fuel system to make it work! (see Aug. '04 5.0 Mustangs and Super Fords mag cover car)

Well, I have a whole bunch of friends who own Cobras, and they have Cobra motors in their cars... So I'd say it's not all that strange to find a Cobra motor in an SN95...

(but yes, I know what you're trying to say)


Personally I think it would be very cool, but I'd have a hard time justifying it -- first, it would be a lot of work to make it fit (K-member, harness, fuel system, etc). Second, for the money it will end up costing overall, you could put a pushrod engine in your car that would be much more powerful. Third, the 03/04 Cobra engine is very heavy, and you'd be adding a couple hundred pounds to the front end of your car.

ya i dont think it would be worth it, thats alot of money that you can put into the 306. you will have to replace so much stuff, but you should check into it to make sure.
