Not sure where else to post this so i picked this section. what is the difference between a 93 cobra motor and an 87 gt motor? Im thinkin about doin a swap but i dont what to swap it if its not really better.

 

The Cobra uses gt40 heads, and a cobra(gt40) intake. The pistons are hyper, not forged. If It is available to you I'd do it.

 

wat kinda power does it make?

 

235hp and 280lbs-ft torque
are you looking to buy one or something?

 

kinda. i have my stock motor for now but i want a lil more power just from the motor without bolt ons and such. how much do they run for?

 

you'll have to hunt to just find one. they would be scarce because there werent a whole lot of 1993 cobras made. Supporting mods are a must. Why dont you want o do them? I'd start out with gears, exhaust, MAF conversion, ud pullies if I were you. You can find gt40 heads and intake for pretty cheap and install them yourself.

 

i want to put them on but later down the road. for now im keepin my motor and stuff stock as i save up money.

 

don't waste your time, you won't gain any hp unless you "bolt -on" better parts to your current motor, work with what you have, I seriously doubt you'd find a cobra motor in tact, explorer motor is your best bet

 

does the cobra motor use the 302 like the gt but they put an intake on it?

 

Ok, the shortblock in the 93 Cobra is the same shortblock that is in all 93-95 5.0L's. Cobra motors have GT40 heads that have been shaved slightly to raise compression, a cobra intake, roller rockers, and a different cam. You will be better off using your 87 shortblock if you ever thing about boost or nitrous because they have forged pistons. Just forget about buying a cobra motor and go junk yard hopping for a complete explorer motor. You will still have GT40 heads and a better than stock intake.
