ENGINE SWAP
Alright guys. I have been thinking about this for a while and wanted to see waht everybody thought about it. I would like to upgrade from a 2v engine in my car to the 4v that the cobras have to give me more options for BIGGER BETTER power. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find a 4v engine fairly cheap?

If you want any 4V, get a Mark VIII motor, same as 96-98 Cobras, just way cheaper but you will need a different intake manifold. If you want a 99-01 Cobra motor, you're looking at about $4000. You may just want to pull your motor and throw some 99-01 32V heads on it, along with the intake manifold and other minor stuff.

dont want a 4v car. i would have to completely start over on my mods to my car that i already have on mine. dont want to spend the money again on what i have already done. i will just build my motor and turn my car into a cobra killer instead of another cobra clone.

The list of everything you need to do a 4v swap is a headache in itself to write out let alone track down, like that guy said if you can get yourself a totaled cobra or a complete swap its worth it, otherwise i just say build the 2v.
then you say
but really building the 4v is just giving more credit to the cobra lol, if you wan't a cobra killer stick with the 2v.
