Hey Guys, My question is can an 03' cobra engine fit in a foxbody, and if so what else would i need to change. Or is a stroked 302 better, I'm looking for faster, meaner, more powerful.

What would be meaner

Is doing that meaner then a stroked 302 & 351, I do know that the 03 cobra is untouchable, some guy in my town has one and talks **** all day long, says foxs are nice if you likem slow. I want to chew him apart, and put him in his place. What better way to smoke him with his own 03 cobra engine.

A Mach one engine withpgraded forged rods and pistons is just as badass.

An 03 Cobra motor is not untouchable. I will say it is a bad ass motor that you get from the factory, but not untouchable. Go over to Dyno-flo and look at their motors. You can get a shortblock that will handle way more power then an 03s for under 4k. Get some good heads, intake, cam, and some forced induction you could make more power then any 03 could.

My stang isnt even that fast but send him my way, my slowfox will probably smoke him.

well wouldnt it make more sense to beat him w/ a 331, 347, 351 b/c if you threw in a 03 cobra engine he would just say that it was the only way you could beat him.

Build a nasty 331-351 stroker w/ some kick ass suspension and you can hand that cobra his ass providing he's not done alot to it.
