Sweet Opportunity?
I have a friend who drives a flatbed for a local towing company... he happened upon a steal for me. 2003 Cobra complete engine and tranny froma totaled cobra (rear end destroyed)
1500 dollars should I jump on this, even if there are some little things here and there I will need to do? I have the money to burn, so I think I will run it by my pops (I still live under his house, and he would be helping me out most likely) What would you do? I have yet to see the engine myself, but I have been imformed it had a smaller pulley. The deal is a good price because the guy was running from the cops, or dunk, I forget, and has some legal fees to pay off. I think regardless of the condition of most of the stuff it would not be a bad thing to snatch up... |
if you got the money to burn.......what the hell are you even bothering asking for. im certain everyone will say jump on it if u got it. other then a cobra engine......5.4 is ur best bet.....how much $ would one of those be?
so just put it into retrospect for yourself and truth be told.........a bigger engine, 95% of the time, is better then a smaller one would be. but if you can comfortably spend some money on a termy engine.....i GUARENTEE you will be happy with what you have done. edit: for the record, being european, i love the high reving cars that make high rev power.....i love american cars.....put 2 and 2 together, and unless your putting a corvette engine in there, the 32V engine is one of my favorites. |
as long as you can get the wiring harness, all accessories, and everything that you need for the swap, then go for it. it wont be an easy job.

i would definatly go for it.
hell, you could sell it on Ebay for 4 times that amount if you diddnt want the hassle of installing it, then buy a supercharger with the profit |
