I'm a 5.0 man, but the terminator (4.6) cobra motor is practically choked down from the factory. $1k in mods will have you pushing 550rwhp. Done and done.

What makes the terminator cobra engine different from the other 4.6 cobra engines (besides the S/C, of course)?

4.6 4v you will kick some a$$ either way, but the 5.0 is so oldschool and if you can get fast and it will rock just about anythign

I would go with a Fox, but i love the look of foxes. It depends what your going for. If your looking for a DD, then definetly go cobra(terminator preferred of course). If not, then for the money you would spend on a cobra, you could build a kicka** 5.0.

the 93 cobras are expensive as ****, I'd be afraid to drive it, but I'd looooove to own one. I know a guy that's got a 98 cobra and he's very happy with it, aren't they like 305 hp??? But if it were me, I'd stick with a 94-95 cobra if you can find one.

I believe the blower is the main difference, and forged internals.... What makes it so amazing is that it's "395hp" from the factory, but w/ intake, exhaust and a smaller pulley, they dyno big #'s.
