I currently have a 96 stang and i like the 99 04 better. I want to know ifI can buy one and add a cobra engine to it, the real problem is I don't know if i can have aautomatic cobra or if i can get a v6 so it'll be less expensive and add the cobra to that? Any suggestions?

any kind of engine swap is going to be very exspensive, you would probably be better off just buying a cobra.

What would you say it would cost for the engine and the swap?

If i do get a V6 that is an automatic can i then install a cobra engine in that or can it only be manual i know manual makes the car a little faster but i still want to know about an auto

I would just buy the cobra. Those motors come well balanced from the ford factory. If you start swapping motors, you will have to work out all the bugs.

if i were you i'd just stick with the 96 and add a cobra engine to that, since you have it already, or just buy a cobra, buying a v6 for like 7k, then if you want a brand new cobra engine, for example the mach1 engine you'll need about 6.5k, so thats about $13500 anyways, just buy a cobra or do the swap w/ the 96.

ok that seems like the simplest solution and less after purchase work but i'm gonna have to work more before hand to get it

that's what i'm doing, or atleast plan on doing, either swapping a 4v engine into my 96 gt, or just seeing if there are any nice 96-98cobras for sale at the fall car show around where i live.

I just don't like the body style i have i mean i got black projector head lamps konig unkown 18's a spoiler and side scoops but i like the next body so much more and with a cobra that is just a head turner
