have you considered longblocks from MMR like this one for example MMR Street Mod 750SE 4.75 Liter 2V Longblock (up to 750 RWHP) price $4799.99

or MMR Street Mod 1000SE 4.75 2V Longblock up to 1000 RWHP) sale price $4899

Instead of picking up a Used motor(with an unkown history to you) for like 8 grand this would be a Brand New built motor for less than 5grand.

just an idea http://www.modularmustangracing.com/

I hear you on the MMR longblocks, however, the cost savings that I would get from getting a complete take out cobra engine and trans would be a lot less than having to buy all the stuff to complete the 2v conversion into a 1967 mustang. In addition, the 4v termi looks a lot nicer cosmetically than the 2v.

On that note, your response makes me think a little deeper.... I wonder if I did buy the complete take out, I wonder how much I could sell the stock cobra long block for..... Then use that money to upgrade to an MMR long block. Anyone knows what the price of a used stock cobra long block would go for?

Thanks for the Links Rockwell. I have been keeping my eye on them and unfortunately can't pull the trigger on these until I make my wife happy with a new deck and hardwood floors. If they are still on there by June, One will be mine!
