Hey guys. I just bought a 2003 Cobra motor from a friend of a friend. Has 5000 miles on it and it's in perfect condition. Comes with transmission, wiring harness, computer, and clutch. He took $3600 for it!!! Coming from Ontario, Canada so it should be here in about 2 wks. I cant wait to throw it in my 97 GT. What do ya'll think about that price? Is the swap going to be very difficult? I've got a guy who says he'll swap em for $100 if I help him. Besides a 6 speed shifter, what else will I need to get my Stallion running?

Unless the seller is a addicted to crack. Just make sure you see that engine in person before you exchange any money.

he got the motor and trans real cheap but i belive him on the labor.. LOL this brazillian tranny/engine tech i used too work with did a set of headgaskets on a 2.5 contour for another tech that did'nt want too mess with it and guess what he took for payment... 2 lower ball joints for his wifes 99 explorer...

he works so cheap i was thinking of having him put my tranny in my winter beater.. but i cant bring myself too let somebody else work on my car... no other mechanics but me touch my cars...

20 years later and I never got the motor. Scammed by a Canadian named Remo Innamorati. Learned a valuable lesson this one.
