So here is some solid fact I have done this swap. You will need the throttle cable, the engine, 8 bolt flywheel and YOUR TRANSMISSION.(also some hoses and tstat.)I bet you could use the stock tune to drive it to a tuner, but IN MY CASE it did not stay on more than a second so I had to put the cobra ecu problem solved as easy as that.The canned tune also did not work for me.With the cobra ecu you still cannot use the imrc's and the check engine lights on your gauge cluster will not work.IDK maybe I pissed off PATS and thats why it wouldnt stay on.Be nice to the car while it has the gt ecu or it could be bye bye cobra motor.

WOW you guys confused me and I've done the swap. Mike repeat after me IMRC
Not what ever you keep typing
Just do the swap the easy way. Get a 4V with the wiring harness and ECM put motor in plug it into the fire wall pull out GT ECM put 4V ECM in and drive your car like you stole it.
And do the IMRC delete even if you have the 4V ECM.

i think im just gonna look for a stock cobra computer..i dont really trust tunes unless some company has a good rep the closest one here where i live is THR and i dont trust them worth a dime, they couldnt tune my friends supercharged GT if God had a mustang and asked Brian to tune it! i saw one on ebay for $300 whats a fair price for a computer..how can i tell it should have a vin number on it right?
