...between a cobra engine and the 32 valve engine from a lincoln ,,,,is it the same basic platform , i ask because i found one for 200 at the local yard, from a car with rear end damage.

probably all the internals. and computer tune.

so whould that make it a decent platform to rebuild a higher performance engine than my current 4.6 2v

There are 2 different blocks the 4 valves were built on, the teksid and windsor. I would assume the Lincoln motor is the Windsor block. I am also 95% sure that it does not have a forged bottom end like the 03-04 cobras do. But I do think it is identical to the Mach 1 block. I think the 99-01 cobras came with the Teksid block which is supposedly better and stronger then the windsor block. I would get it and then buy the forged assembly and throw it in there, you would have a pretty nice setup then.

im pretty sure all of the svt cobras had hand built engines by the svt team, and they do have fordged internals, and probably defferent heads and such, they probably arnt even really close to being the same engine other than their displacement

FFS, only the 03-04s have forged internals.

we do understadn i am talking about a lincoln mark8 engine right , not the navigator engine.....its a 32v 4.6l

stats

4,605 cc 4.6 liters 8 V 90° front longitudinal engine with 90.2 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 9.8 compression ratio, light alloy block, light alloy head, double overhead cam and four valves per cylinder

now the stats for the cobra engine
- 4,601 cc 4.6 liters 8 V front engine with 90.2 mm bore, 90 mm stroke, 9.9 compression ratio, double overhead cam and four valves per cylinder

cobras come with forged cranks along with the mach 1, then cobra began to forge the entire rotation assembly for the terminator. and the mach 1's only have forged cranks in the manuals......just thought id throw that in there.[8D]
