Default Cobra motor install???

When installing a cobra motor in a 88 5.0 does anything have to be upgraded other then the injuctors? Like fuel pump TB anything like that?

what year cobra? a 93? if it is i doubt it the only difference was the intake and the heads are different but stock injectors are good to like 300 i think so they should be fine

What size inj's? 19's will work w/ the stock MAF and stock computer (non-cobra computer), but if it's got 24's, they'll need a MAF calibrated for them.

If you are going from an 88 to a 93 motor... you do realize, you will have to upgrade from speed density to mass air if you have not already done so.... this is a big pain in the ***, but has to be done... and if you are worried about the injector size and such, you really should make sure you have it converted to mass air, and get a mass air meter that is calibrated for the injector size you plan to use....
