Ok need some help...
I have a 01 V6 automatic, i plan on buying a new car...01 Cobra, or 02-04 GT...I LOVE the 03-04 cobras but insurance is way to much for an 18 year old about to go to college. So i was thinking instead of buying a new car...would it be better idea to buy a brand new cobra motor and drop it in my car so i can have the same insurance i have now. is it to much of a pain to do? in the long run would it be better just to get a different car?...EVERYTHING you know about this kind of motor swap i would greatly appreciate it!

Buying the Cobra is the way to go [sm=smiley20.gif]. To many reasons to list as to why, but I am sure, others will agree. Second, I will personally recommend banishing you from MF's if you have a Cobra motor and an auto trans 
Going to school, the GT is probably your best bet

well... if u wana do that it has been done been before but the whole front suspension, and k-memeber will need redone for the the heavier 4v, then the ecm will need changed, and the guage cluster will need changed for the 7000 rpm redline and the tranny for sure because what fun is an automatic 300hp car. and in my opinon u might as well just go buy like a 98 Cobra because it would cost more to swap then to buy. or buying an 02 gt would also be cheaper and way better then a v6 automatic

RE: Ok need some help...
ok thanks guys, lately i've been leaning towards the 01 Cobra, fr500's black with a crome lip 18by9's in the front and 18by10 deepdish in the back, borla stingers, 4.10's, JLT Intake and drop it an inch to a inch and a half...but i got a quote online and its $290 a month on insurance...im 18, but i've never gotten a ticket, or into an accident. that seems a little high...
