Alright so im really close to turning my GT into a cobra clone per say.


I have one issue that you guys may know. Some say with switching from a 2v to a 4v ill have a issue of 16valve vs 32 and things wont look good. Is it possible to directly bolt on a cobra 01-04 head onto a stock GT.

I will need,
new intake manifold
cam timing kit
likely new pistons, rings, gaskets, cams, rockers, ect. and a new computer couldnt hurt with a fuel system.

but is it possible or do i need to forge it out.

This is brough up all of the time, there are stickys on it, as well. Just buy a complete engine and drop it in. There are more things that that, but if you read the sticky you'll see.

The heads will bolt right on. Pretty simple swap. You can still use the stock computer and harness with a tune and some modification to the harness. The fuel pump and injectors will need to be upgraded.

You also need timing cover, exhaust manifolds, fuel rails, cams, oil pump.
