I know theres more, but the 95 cobra and 93 cobra are a bit different. If you want to go do a conversion your better going with the gt40 intake manifold and heads.

Doesn't the '93 Cobra have 24# injectors and use the X3Z (or something like that) ECU? That's what I heard anyway.

Yea, regular 5.0 uses 19lb injectors cobra uses 24lbs. The fox 5.0s are a bit different from the sn-95 cobras.
