Well some where along the line I got hosed

Well I pulled the trans out as some of you know to do a little repair to it . Now it's all fixed and rerady to go back in and I want to do some more up-grading while I'm at this step . So I pulled the clutch and pressure plate off today to get to the Fly wheel > I plan on putting a Alum flywheel and a very strong clutch in my baby > Well long story short > my motor isn't a cobra motor > yes I wrote it right > my motor is a 6 bolt Lincon motor with the cobra intake and valve covers maybe the cams I don't know how to tell . > I was so pissed I ran in and got my title and double checked the vin > it is a cobra but the motor is not >
I'm so pissed I can't see strait > I stopped what I was doing and picked up my tools and walked away from the car > I don't even want to look at it right now >
WHERE can I get a Cobra motor ? I don't want to pay e-bay stupid out-ragous price's $2500- $3500 > there are cars on there for sale for that price !!!!!!!!! I've thought of building a motor out of the motor I have with a 8-bolt crank > but I won't be able to finish it this year!!
It will be next spring at the earlyest to finish it . > could part out the motor I have and probley get part of the way there > but I don't know . I do know I will not run the car with a 6- bolt motor in it . It just won't hold up .

i would sell you my 03 cobra motor reasonable but not sure if i want to keep my aluminum block or use the 03 cobra block for my build...... my best advise to you would be pull your motor, buy a stroker kit port your heads and get a set of comp cams and forget the whole thing happened.

Thats what I had thought about but have decided yet > I found a wreck on craigslist > the guy told me he'd sell the motor out of it for $1500.00 and I could hear it run before I pulled it > plus I could part out my motor and make some of my money back.

I don't mind the mileage thing >or a motor swap > I really don't care how many miles are on my stang if you like (love ) a car who cares about the mileage > my pet peav is I've been spraying100 plus shot of Nitrous in to a motor that IS NOT BUILT in any way to handle that kinda thing where a Cobra motor is much more likely to take it . after some searching I found that a Lincon motor and cobra motor have diffrent pistons in them and my motor DOES have the (9.85.1) cobra pistons in it so it makes me think that something happened to the crank and they did a bottom-end repair but were too cheap to fix it right > SO do I find a 96-98 cobra motor to build it or find a 03/04 cobra bottom end and build that ?

I traded a 96 gt convert for my cobra >
