RE: 03-04 Cobra Engine
Its not as hard as people make you think,
i have a 1997 mustang v6 auto , and just converted it to a 1999 gt auto
list of whats needed
ecu
wiring for both ecu and engine
engine and tranny ( try to get on k member )
drive shaft or yoke from tranny
radiator
hard metal fuel lines ( v6 and gt are opposite sides and different sizes)
fuel pump
exhuast
gauges
i got a shop to do the swap for 1500 bucks ,
i got all the parts for 1750.00
so i went from a v6 to a gt for 3200 bucks
now here is the kicker
under a v6 mustang i pay 1300 a year for insurance
for if i get insurance on a gt its 2700
so i have a gt and save 1400 a year
in the long run i made out
lets not forget i have the 1994-1997 body with a 1999 gt engine

RE: 03-04 Cobra Engine
well, i could try rebuilding mine but why would i want to rebuild a v6 when dropping in a gt engine is only 1,000 more??? this has to be done. i wish i had my car here with me and i could get a sound clip so u could hear how bad its knocking. yea, that is kinda retarded with the insurance thing. they will pay for the damage though just none to the engine or anything. hell the might not pay for anythign at all i dunno.i think they will though

RE: 03-04 Cobra Engine
yea i will be sure to inform my insurance co. and i know to get the 4v thats y i want the 03-4 cuz its sc also. it really isnt worth the time of effort for me to save to get a cobra cuz im not going to get nowhere near enough money for my car to pay it off and i dont plan on ever selling my car. ive already put too much money into it to sell it.

but as all of you know your car is insured by the vin not the engine
by the way how many people out there do engine swaps and tell their insurance agent, then again how many add power adding bolt ons and tell their insurance ?

just make sure its a 4V and not a 2V a 2V wouldnt be worth the money and dont forget to tell your insurance company you have a V-8 or its fraud
