Yeah, I would agree with Acer and the above peps... keep the 2V, get forged everything, and then drop TT or a nice S/C in it. I wish I had saved more money when I was in Kuwait... 6 monthes... woulda come back with bout 20 large...

I salute and support all soldiers and marines. But Damn Bush to hell, hes functionally retarted. but back to stangs. I'm planning on buying a 96 Cobra with 111,000 miles on it. Can somebody give me a link to a forged internals kit. I'm planning on adding a KB either the 1.7L flowmaster or 2.0L Blowzillla(or 2.2L i forget). Also i'm gonna install it myself so what tools will i be needing to balance the camshaft, pistons etc... please links are appreciated.

heres a link i was looking at, i dont know about its credibility but its something to atleast start gathering figures. Why does everyone say to rebuild engine as opposed to getting a crate, dont they both ball park to arround the same $$$ in the end?

I think the older cobra's had a forged crank but not the pistons and rods. I could be wrong, though.
