Alright, i have an 04 GT. i work at a ford dealership so i get discounts like crazy through ford racing. when i purchased my mustang i didnt have the money for a cobra, or the insurance on a cobra. but i really want one, i love everything about the cobra's. is it possible and what would i need if i were to do a cobra 4.6L 4v DOHC supercharged engine. Would i need a new computer, wiring harness, etc.? I will end up paying about $6,000 for the engine, which isnt bad at all considering it retails for over $11,000. I know im ganna get a lot of its not worth it, just build the bottom end up on the GT throw a kenne bell, vortech, and other superchargers on and you'll be smoking cobra's. i agree, but i already have a cobra body kit because i think the appearance of a cobra is astonishing, i love the looks of them, and the interiors are just even more nicer with the suede interior. Alright back on track though, please just reply and let me know what i would need. Thank you very much

I don't know a whole lot about what needs to be done, sorry.. but I have heard that you still are suppose to report it to your insurance company, if you don't its fraud (that's just what ive always heard )

If you're only concerned with looking like a Cobra and running like a Cobra, then go ahead and start the engine and body mods on you GT, but keep in mind, there's a lot more to a Cobra than a body kit and a blown 4V. You've got the IRS, 6-speed transmission, forged engine internals, better brakes, bigger wheels and tires and a nicer interior as well as the Cobra namesake to boot. To duplicate this would be pointless, since even if you got all the parts at cost and got the labor for free, you'd still surpass the cost of just going strait out and buying a Cobra in the first place.

It's even less cost effective as a matter of fact, than doing a V8 swap to a 6er.....and we all know what a costly waste of time that is......
