its a good motor

i'd say its making 235 at the wheels and prob 250-260 crank

tons of magazines called ford numbers quite "conservative" as ford was getting alot of heat from insurance companies and they wanted the 94's to look stronger even though their new intakes down-rated them. the hypereutic pistons were the only change for 93 GT/LX's and it was proven they did not make the car lose 20hp

remember factory ratings were with a very conserative timing setting.
can get an extra 20 or so hp just from maxing out timing on 93 octane

So basically to install the cobra motor all i would nee is to change the U&L intake, MAF, and fuel injectors. If i left anything out let me know.
