I need your opinion

[LAZER_RED]

So I am picking up a 98 cobra with out an engine and trans for almost nothing. It has a subframe connectors, 373 gears 31 spline axles, and a decent suspension. The front seats are gone and a few odds and ends. I initially was going to part it out and use all of the good cobra items for my 95 gt. Then sell the rest including the rolling chassis. It has a clean title and keys. The kicker is it will cost me $400. It is in decent shape but not perfect. After sitting on it i am having trouble ripping a cobra apart and not saving it. What do y'all think? I would like to do a coyote swap in it, but may have to just find a stock 4v to get me by. I cant make up my mind and I know y'all will be bias, but looking for some good info/help.


Thanks
Kris

coyote swap it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you will love it!!!!!!!!!!

All depends on your availability of funds! I'd say coyote-swap it but I'm not the one that'll be paying for it

 

[LAZER_RED]

Yeah that's the goal but funds will be tight. I will now have two mustangs that I will be working on. That's why I was going to just part it. If I keep it though it will prob go back to stock for now.

Finish your GT, then built the Cobra the way you want it.

Thats what I will be doing, I will be swapping my aode out for a t5. I have all of the stuff except the rear main seal and resurfacing the fly wheel. I will be taking my time on the cobra and then sell the 95.

With it already missing everything, and for that price with a clean title, I would be looking into Coyote stuff for sure.

 

[LAZER_RED]

We will see what happens once it is in my possession. Right now I am going to get it home and cleaned it up. Then make a list of things that will need to be done. At that point I will choose my direction. Coyote engines out of f150s are pretty cheap. I will just have to price everything and go from there.

What do you think is a good trans for the coyote swap, 3650, t56, tko series??

LS swap it



please don't ban me

 

[LAZER_RED]

The LS series engines are great engines but they belong in a GM not a quality Ford product.

Lol

For that matter, building mod motors has become much less expensive, and honestly LS motors are not all that cheap.

If I were doing a coyote swap today, no question I would use a T56.
