Ok guys, i have a few questions to ask. I have a 97 Mustang GT 5 speed with the 4.6 SOHC. I am going to be pulling that engine out and swapping in a supercharged 99 Cobra 4.6 DOHC engine with the 6 speed manual transmission. I found the supercharged Cobra engine with only 9k original miles and 6 speed transmission for $950!!! I guess my questions are:

1: Are the engine and transmission going to be easily transferrable?
2: What all needs to come with the engine and transmission to make it work perfect?
3: Is it worth the trouble most of all? lol

Guys, ANY advice would be very helpful

I'm not sure about everything you'll need, but you will definitely need the wiring harness and computer. Depending on tranny, you may need the driveshaft, but I'm not sure.

Of course, motor and tranny mounts will probably be needed.

Why motor mounts? A 4.6 is a 4.6. But it's not worth it anyway, so why don't you ship it on out to me.

i dont think 99 cobra engines were supercharged, i though they werent boosted til 2003

he says that the engine is supercharged, and i do think they were supercharged then, probably S-Trim Supercharger

the transmission mounting points are way different, i just did a 97 gt to 97 cobra swap, and i still used my gt t-45, the cobra t-45 was identical minues the mounting points and the tail shaft,so you will need all the mounting peices for that tranny especially if its a terminator 6 speed.

PS: a supercharged cobra motor and a 6 speed tranny for 950 isnt right, i would say theres a 75% chance that something is majorly wrong with that motor, i know this because i spent a good year finding my cobra block, and i paid 3400 for a complete sn95 4v cobra with wiring and ecu, most 99-02 cobra motors ran around 3500$ with around 30-40k miles, and all the terminators i saw were at least 5000, 950$ for a s/c cobra with tranny sounds way to good to be true man dont wanna run it for ya but i wouldnt risk that, i mean the superchanger alone on that motor used he can sell for around 950$ i just cant see u getting a cobra with s/c and tranny with only 9k miles on it for 950 bucks, i would bet the car was in a massive front end collission

i kind of figured that bro, whenever i get his phone number, i am going to talk to him about it and find out the truth if anything. Im kind of scared to sink that much money into it and something be wrong with it. I appreciate that though, just making sure im not the only one thinking it
