Well I swapped my old 3.8 for a 5.0. car runs good and my friend has it now. there were alot of things that pissed me off about the mustang when i had it but i guess thats the fun of having a car always working on it. i was going to cross over and get a honda or something but i had to jump on a deal i couldnt refuse. its a 96 6 banger with a 5 speed. i have to replace the front bumper and fender. now i can finally put in that 4.6 DOHC i always wanted. four questions though?

1. whats the difference between the 96 cobra motor and a 97+ cobra motor?

2. will a 97+ cobra motor line up wiht the 96 perches or do i have to make custom mounts?

3. wheres the cheapest place to buy a cobra motor?

4. Does any one know where to get those fake airbags or cheap real ones? i dont want to pay $1000 for airbags that i wont use (hopefully)


Thank.
i already swapped a 94 3.8 for a 5.0. then i sold the stang and bought a 96 3.8
there pics of the swap i did below
 
N/A - 96-98 engines are the same, 99, 01 & 02 are (basically) the same. All have the same mounts, just intake and minor head differences.

Check out KarKraft for new crate motors.

You can get a set of airbags on eBay for around $500, I think MRT was going to make the fake covers for the passenger side, not sure on steering wheel.
