I'm looking into swapping a 4V (99+) into my GT but can't find any locally. Does anyone have a spare or know of a Cobra graveyard where I could get one?
The only thing I know to do would be to contact the salvage shops that advertise in the stang mags, like Mustang Parts Specialties. I know they would have everything you would need for a swap, might get a little expensive though dealing with a parts carrier like them. Have you tried all the salvage shops around your local area?
Yeah, unfortunately the owner of the only yard that can do a nationwide search doesn't believe in a 4v motor. He tried telling me they only came in the 2004 supercharged version. When I attempted to correct him, his remark was "I bet you know more than this computer". What a guy. Anyway, no, nobody has one around here.
Thanks for the lead. BTW, it doesn't look to expensive to do the swap. I guess most parts match up.
The answer would be from another person, fully capable of making a mistake.
If I were you I would go back to that guy with proof they exist, but be calm about it if you can. It's the best way to make them feel stupid and not get angry.
go down to your local ford dealership and they will most likely be able to supply you with a parts book. in the book, you will find a 99-02 cobra swap, including the tranny, electrical, water pump,...the whole deal for a grand total of $6,000 (plus shipping and all that bs) the only thing is that it does not include the supercharger. i was planning to do the swap myself, but then school got in the way....
