Mach 1 seems to be the cheapest I think, but what about the intake manifold, how do you do that on a GT?

Is there an easy way to do this or are you basically taking the whole engine from a parts car? None of the 4V parts are interchangeable on a 2V right?

Or you could just do what my bro did, and find a decent deal on a used low mileage 03 cobra engine. He bought the engine complete with supercharger for $2500 shippied

If you plan to go F/I, Cobra. If staying N/A, Mach.

If the mach 1 engine is an automatic version I would go with the 01 cobra motor. They have some decent power and they also come with the forged crank. I ran a 99 cobra lonblock in my 96 for a little while and the car was pretty damn powerful. Now if the mach 1 engine is manual version I would go for it. Not only will it have the forged crank like the 01 cobra but it will also have pretty much the best out of the box flowing 4v heads there are and the navigator intake cams which are great for torque.
