RE: SOHC to a DOHC
yeah but assuming you get more money for less miles... who's to say I couldnt sell an engine with 150,000 miles on it for $2500 and just say it has 50,000 miles on it? I mean it actually sounds like a pretty good way to rip someone off.

Could you take it apart if it did have high miles and use the heads, cpu, and tranny for your iron block. (intead of amluminum) Is that possible? Also can the tranny of a cobra be more powerful than my early 01 t5?

RE: SOHC to a DOHC
That was fast responding nomo. My car is an early 01 GT, so it has I beileve, a t5. My buddy he had a later 01GT that had a 3650 or something like that. His clutch and shifter felt completely different. I wonder how much torqe mine can handle. Isn't an iron block better for boost than aluminum? But could I nomo get an 98-01 or ? cobra motor with alot of mile and convert it to my block? Sorry for all the questions.thanks

Word to that.... iron blocks are to heavy. They say if you take everything off an LS1 and weigh just the block, it should weigh in at or a little under 100 lbs. Thats some crazy @$$ shizzle my nizzle!
