What harness? You'll basically need a cobra donor car. Your stock computer thinks there are 24v so it will need a computer that reads 36v. That's the short, the long is you will need $$$. Honestly in my opinion any motor "dropped" into any car to which it wasn't designed is a waste of time... Now some guys need to massage their ego's amoungst beer circles to say "that I did ____" but it will be a pita. None of these swaps have ever gone either smooth or on budget without a donor car .

hello miami I wondered kinda the same thing is the 4v engine better than the 3v. I mean if you had to buy An engine which would be better to get? the cobra 4v engine iI believe comes with forged internals dosnt it? you could crank up or put more psi to the forged block of the 4v over the stock 3v. I wish I could tell you ECU wise what it would take. I am sure someone on the forum will chime in with some help. Good luck with your project if it ever comes to be.

The Terminator 4V is a "Better" engine, but holy Hell...the Terminator engines I have seen for sale were close to $10K. That is without the nickel and dime work, the labor time/costs, etc. I don't see the swap happening for less than $15K...I might be way off base, but off the top of my head I don't think I am.

For $5K you can really make that 3V go.

but if you plan to drive it on the streets, it isnt going to pass inspection, the law states that yuo can drop in a NEWER motor into an OLDER car but NOT the opposite
