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 ****** 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

 

Which is what I was thinking, if I can get it and all of the accessories I can easily put it on the back burner or sell it for a profit...

 

Do it or give me the blower on it... lol..

 

why even post on if i should buy..

we should be reading " i just scored a badass deal on a cobra drivetrain for 1500 bucks!"

 

sell it then buy the 5.4 Swap!

 

I would buy it and resell the parts on the net for more money.

 

+1

 

I will give ya 500 for the tranny! LOL

 

+1! What are you waiting for!?

 

Waiting for a call back on the stuff, if it is in good working condition... I will have some work ahead of me =D
