Default motor swap..please help...

hi guys,

i just wanted to ask for some help or some advice. i had a 99 cobra, but about a month ago i rolled it. the motor is still intact, and tranny, and everything. the only thing it sustained was body damage. so i took out the motor and tranny and all the suspension off the cobra and i want to put the motor and tranny in my 98 GT.

i just want to know if it will be easy, or if i need anything extra for the 98 to make it work. i have the computer and everything out of the 99, ready to go in the 98. i just want to know if i will have any problems putting it in?

thanx guys...

well, some of the other guys may correct me if i am wrong, but im pretty sure the k member is different, and your gt doesnt have the irs, which may benefit you better.

The K-member is the same. It's a simple swap. Everything will just drop right in you will need to swap the computer and harness and use the exhaust manifolds and mid pipe from the cobra.

yea i have the k-member if i need to swap it. and i have the computer and the harness as well. i read something about the fuel system is different. would i need to swap the fuel tank and fuel lines and stuff? i have my 99 cobra, so what ever i need i could just take it off there.

but thank you for the reply...any more help would help alot.

99 is returnless style, 98 is not. that will be the most involving part of the transfer
