I have just found an 89 or 90 wrecked EFI 5.0 cobra. The damage is just to the right side of the car and the motor appears fine. I'm looking to swap a t-5 into my stock 65 289 green dot auto. I can get the car for about $1K. Could I get my moneys worth out of this car? I would take the whole tranny setup, but what about the motor? What could I get from it? Would it be worth stuffing into my car? My car is a daily driver, but I'm looking to run at least 13s when I'm done. What else could I get from this car? So, what would you do? Any advice/help is highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

There were no Cobras in 89-90 but for $1K if you can get the whole car drivertrain/wiring/electronics then that is a good deal. You can even sell the leftover parts to compensate for you initial investment.

More than likely it has cobra parts on it or it could be a transplanted cobra engine.....but there were no factory cobras in 89-90.

BTW...what color are the injectors?

Strip it bare and crush the shell for a few dollars.....then use everything you possibly can and sell the rest ot offset your investment...I did this with a car 2 years ago and ended up with a brand new $1500 set of aluminum heads and new roller rockers off the car for FREE when I was done.
