Well the motor and tranny are once again up in the air.

Option 1-

Keep all I have already 5.0 based set up, vortech sq trim supercharger, bad azz aod, wiring, a9l, rpm intake, tb........ blah blah blah.


Option 2-
Sell what I have and get,
96-98 Cobra 4.6
t-45 or t-56 6 speed
12 psi s trim Vortech
I already found it complete from tranny to wiring harness and computer

I'm looking to push at least 400 rwhp on either set up. Which I can do.

I have till saturday to decide tops sunday.

What would everyone do?
Yes I already have the Mustang II front conversion
No I have never worked on a 4.6 other than routine stuff.

Any Ideas or words of wisdom??

Also if I do go with the 4.6 would anyone here be interested on the things I have? You would have first dibs.

I'd feel mised about that one too.

I wouldn't want to wipe out the shock towers just for the 4.6, but since you already have the MII susp... It is an attractive idea. That and the DOHC Cobra w/ a supercharger is a fantastic setup. I've ridden in a 97 Cobra with a blower and 4.11 gears, and thats all that car needed. I can't imagine a car needing to be any faster. Ever. It was like taking off in a jet. That said, I'm sure a forced induction 5.0 would be similar.

The main benefit of the 4.6 I think would be the wow factor. I went to a show this summer that had 3 or 4 5.0 EFI swapped cars there, but not one single 4.6.

Just out of curiosity, what 5.0 swap stuff do you have?

Click to expand...

Thats exactly what I mean.
Everything that doesn't have to do with the aod or the supercharger.
