MARKSSTANG

I recently blew a rod in my 2001 Ford Mustang GT. I'm sure I can get away with replacing a few things, but with the amount of money I'm going to spend I'm considering buying a new engine. I got a quote from a local store that will charge $6000 for the engine and labor. He also said he would charge $1500 to install if I could supply the new engine if I found it cheaper.

It came with the standard 281 2V 4.6L V8 automatic transmission GT motor. My greatest idea would be to put a complete 2004 supercharged cobra motor in its place. Would it be possible to do this engine swap without having to replace too much more? I would like to keep the transmission I currently have, but I need to know how smooth the swap will be. I know my shop would charge more than the $1500 because of the supercharger, etc. but I just need to know the basics as far as any extra information I need to know reguarding this swap. Thanks in advance!

ya its going to be expensive... also the tranny you have wont last long after the swap if you go to a 03/04 cobra engine.

this place is about 20 min from me. they have pretty much everything. they have 2 "totaled" 03 cobras with the engine and all still in it. i cant wait to get a stang so i can just go 20 min and buy some parts. my dream would be get a GT and get the cobra engine/interior in it and make it a sleeper[&:]
