I am looking to buy a 4.6 DOHC from a 98 Cobra off ebay......i wanna swap it in to my GT ASAP but have a few questions....

1. Would i have to swap the ECU since both cars are a 98?

2. Can i use the GT's throttle linkage since they are both 98?

3. Does the A/C Compressor bolt up in the same location?

Please Help..Thanks

1. you can use the same computer but you'll need a tune

2. pretty sure you'll need new throttle and cruise control cables

3. again, pretty sure the A/C compressor is mounted the same (the blocks should be externally interchangeable)

here's a pretty complete write up (even if it is for a 99+) 2V to 4V Swap ...it should be simpler on a 98 since you won't have to mess with the COP wiring
