i think getting a dif engine would be a cheaper route than modding the v6..any suggestions on what engine to use? i just wanna get ideas of what i would have to spend to get around the cobra's 390hp or above....and if i got the new engine what else would i have to replace besides getting a better suspension? links would be helpful too! thanks

you will also need the 351 flywheel and clutch and the computer,harness and fuel injection stuff. but i am going carbed to get away from all of that wiring mess. you may have more things to change like crossmember and driveshaft
