wow, 03 cobra in a fox. That would kill! But it would be alot of work, and for the time/money you would put into it you could probably make a 5.0 just as nice. Since you are doing a motor swap just throw a 351 in there, it would dominate, and it would be alot easier that a cobra swap.

In the oct. 2006 issue a guy installed the cobra motor in a 1980 cobra. He installed the entire interior including the dash. He even put in the IRS. It is possible to do but I bet it isn't easy.

I read that article, it was really good. It's not worth it though. He had to cut and change the firewall on the original car in order to cram the engine in there...Honestly, unless you have a shiatload of money laying around, just build up a 351w or something.
