I have a 2001 mustang GT 5/spd. Im planning on a 2004 cobra engine, tranny, and rear end swap. Im wondering how difficult would this be? What else would I need besides a new computer? Does anyone know of some websites that I could look on to get an estimated price on this? Any help will be greatly used. Or if anyone has any thoughts about how it will perform in my car or what kind on numbers I will be looking at that will be very helpful also. Thanks.

There must be a better way than dropping $15000-$2000 into your $15000 car.

Just trade in the GT if you want a cobra.

It would probably cost almost as much as buying an 03 Cobra. If you traded in your GT, you'd be dollars ahead and wouldn't have to worry about the conversion being done right.

Yeah... Unless you have a wrecked 2004 Cobra donor car why not just trade your '01 in on an 03/04 Cobra? Easier in the long run and you'll probably get a warranty to boot!
