Bzzzzzzzzzzz! Wrong...The 03 Cobra block is iron, NOT aluminum. And dont forget about the aluminum flywheel and driveshaft.</P>

</P>


My bad. The 2001 Cobra had the cast Aluminum block. </P>

That's the same way with any buisness and profession though.

To convert from a 2v to a 4v is a pricey piece of cake. New cams/pullies/belts, new heads, new lower intake = 4v 4.6L. If you want to make it exactly like a cobra its a bit different because of the crank, t/b and that whole S/C system including fuel systems and pissers. And the SVT Cobra has a snake with ears all over it.

jeep.... that's the sad part. whatever happened to a good deal, and service with a smile? it's like no one cares about the consumer anymore. </P>


and pyyro.... don't those pro drag cars only run 1/4 mile at a time? so i would think they could get away with aluminum, seeing as they are not subjected to prolonged exposure to heat.</P>

Good point but I think the guy who enlightened me was referring to a Nascar example. Either way, as long as it holds up I'm happy.</P>
