i have an 89 mustang lx 5.0 that has some work to it..pretty quick for the street. i was thinking about selling it and picking up a 96-98 cobra. Iknow this is a 5.0 but my question is..should i do this. Im kinda getting out of the racing scene with the 5.0..its not really street friendly with the cam and other performance goodies. i really want an 03/04 style cobra, but thats out of my price range, so i was thinking about picking up the 96-98 style..do some basic bolt ons..gears exhaust...etc..and just cruising to some car shows...so im just up for some suggestions...

thanks

I really like the 96-98 Cobras. They have the 4 valve heads. I saw a guy at a car show that had a 97 Cobra 4.6 in a notch fox. It was sweet

 

The 32v Cobra is a nice peice, because they are easy to tweak. My buddy has a 360whp 98 Cobra, and it didnt take too much work to get it there. Ive heard that they dont last as long as the 5.0s but I dont know of many engines that do. I think the best part of the 96-98 Cobra is that it shares the bodystyle with my car

 

Yeah the guy with the fox had 380 to the wheels with just cams and tune
