swap is easy as long as you know all the parts you need. My site was created just for that. I'm writing a step by step instructions this winter. I had everything when I did mine. took me 1 year to gather parts but i wasn't in a hurry either. I just bought a 95 Cobra for a parts car. I'm going to be doing anothe one soon Check out my website. By the way I still roll on my V6 rims with 275/50/15 BFG Drag Radials on the back. 10.5 of tread on the ground

Although it doesnt make much sense...I always thought about somebody putting a haul-ass engine in a V6 and leaving everything stock


Getting made fun of by some punk then smoking his ass...glorious

If u can do the engine swap.....do it
